High-Viscosity Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC SG3) – A Versatile Resin for Soft and Flexible Applications

Introduction

Standard High-Viscosity Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC SG3) is a suspension-grade thermoplastic resin widely used in the plastics industry. Due to its high viscosity and lower molecular weight, PVC SG3 is particularly suitable for applications requiring flexibility, plasticizer absorption, and smooth processing. This grade is extensively used in the production of soft PVC products, including films, sheets, cables, artificial leather, and medical products.

PVC SG3 has a K-value of approximately 72–73, indicating its high molecular weight and making it an ideal choice for flexible formulations that require strong mechanical properties and durability. Its ability to mix well with plasticizers results in highly flexible and elastic materials, which are essential in industries such as packaging, medical equipment, and electrical insulation.

Key Features and Benefits of PVC SG3

High Plasticizer Absorption

PVC SG3 absorbs more plasticizer compared to lower-viscosity PVC grades, resulting in highly flexible end-products with excellent elasticity and softness.

Good Transparency and Surface Quality

This resin is highly transparent and ensures a smooth, glossy surface finish, making it ideal for packaging films, medical tubes, and artificial leather.

Excellent Chemical and Electrical Resistance

PVC SG3 exhibits superior resistance to chemicals, oils, and electrical conductivity, making it suitable for cable insulation, coated fabrics, and chemical-resistant films.

Strong Mechanical Properties

Despite its flexibility, PVC SG3 maintains good tensile strength and impact resistance, ensuring durability in long-term applications.


Common Applications of PVC SG3

  • Soft PVC Films and Packaging Materials

    • Used for cling films, stretch wraps, and flexible sheets due to its excellent transparency and sealing properties.

  • Artificial Leather and Coated Fabrics

    • Common in furniture, car interiors, handbags, and fashion accessories because of its soft texture and durability.

  • Medical Products

    • Ideal for IV tubing, blood bags, and surgical gloves due to its biocompatibility and flexibility.

  • Wire and Cable Insulation

    • Used in electrical and communication cables due to its excellent dielectric properties and heat resistance.

  • Rubber and Shoe Soles

    • Integrated into soft and durable footwear materials, enhancing wear resistance and flexibility.

  • Wallpaper and Decorative Sheets

    • Ensures a smooth, printable surface for aesthetically appealing interior decorations.


Packaging and Storage

PVC SG3 is typically packaged in 25 kg woven bags or jumbo bags for bulk transport. It should be stored in a dry, ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to prevent agglomeration and degradation.


Conclusion

High-Viscosity Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC SG3) is a versatile, flexible, and high-performance resin suitable for soft PVC applications. Its high plasticizer absorption, excellent mechanical properties, and chemical resistance make it an ideal material for films, medical products, cables, artificial leather, and coated fabrics. Whether in packaging, healthcare, or electrical industries, PVC SG3 continues to be a key material for manufacturers seeking high-quality, durable, and flexible polymer solutions.
