The remainder of the market is mainly accounted
As such, it is primarily a submarket of the PVC industry and AMI estimates that more than 90 per cent of production is in PVC.
The remainder of the market is mainly accounted for by polyethylene materials with some small volumes of polypropylene, polystyrene, TPEs and engineering plastics also used.The guide covers producers of both rigid and flexible profiles.
Rigid profiles, mainly based on unplasticised PVC, are primarily used in building applications and include window frames, door frames, sills, barge boards, cladding, shutters, blinds, skirting boards and cable trays.
Non-building applications are less significant but the market for furniture drawer frames is an important application that has been stimulated by the growth of mass-merchandised self-assembly furniture, according to the company.
