Unplasticised (hard) polyvinyl chloride, a product of vinyl chloride polymerisation, is used for gutter and pipe manufacture. This plastic features high mechanical strength, inflammability, corrosion resistance, chemical resistance to majority of aggressive substances that are soluble in rainwater, and biological resistance to bacteria. Due to the application of suitable additives this plastic is UV resistant and obtains required colour and gloss.
