22 Giugno, 20108th WPC - Fellbach. Plastics reinforcement by natural fibers is becoming a trend since wood fibers have been adopted by polymers like PVC. During the 8th WPC congress held in June 2010 in Fellbach (D), Claudine Bloyaert, SolVin Technical Market Development for Profiles, has presented the influence of the morphology of natural fibers in vinyl composites. She has compared the interest of using hemp or wood fibres to reinforce PVC. This comprehensive analysis helps understand the influence of these natural fibres on the final properties of the composites like their tensile strength and water uptake. [EN]

26 Gennaio, 2010World Water Day 2010 La Gestione dell'Acqua è di importanza fondamentale per l'umanità. Centinaia di milioni di persone non hanno accesso all'acqua potabile e miliardi di persone non dispongono di una rete fognaria effettiva. Le tubature per acqua potabile e le tubature di scarico sono applicazioni primarie del PVC.
Le tubature in PVC consentono di portare acqua potabile nelle abitazioni e di irrigare terreni altrimenti aridi. Le reti irdriche realizzate in PVC consentono di risparmiare grandi quantità d'acqua grazie alla loro impermeabilità, e partecipano attivamente allo sviluppo, specie in agricoltura. Le tubature in PVC garantiscono una buona qualità dell'acqua, contribuiscono a migliori condizioni igieniche e sanitarie per il tramite di reti fognarie e di scarico per insediamenti abitativi, industriali, e impianti di trattamento acque.
Milioni di tonnellate di tubi in PVC vengono messi in opera ogni anno in tutto il mondo, e il PVC è la plastica per tubature più utilizzata proprio per le caratteristiche di durabilità, leggerezza, facilità di posa ed economicità , nell'installazione e nella scarsa manutenzione di cui abbisognano.
