PVC (Polyvinyl chloride) is extracted from the polymerization of vinyl chloride monomer. We can classify PVC into two large groups, rigid PVC and flexible PVC.

Rigid: used for the construction of tubes, pipes, containers, tool accessories, parts of parts, blinds, windows, etc.
Flexible: Corrugated tube, traffic signs as cones. irrigation hoses, curtains for refrigerators, footwear, medicine, etc.

This material begins to soften at 80 ° C and melt at 140 ° C. Thanks to these and other properties, PVC is a recyclable material.

Among the main characteristics of PVC we find:

• Different degree of hardness.
• Waterproof.
• It does not corrode.
• It is moldable if it is subjected to high temperatures.
• Good electrical insulator.
• It is a very resistant material.
• Stable and inert.
• Good mechanical and impact resistance.
• High resistance to abrasion.
• Strong and lightweight.
• Good thermal insulation.
• It is odorless, tasteless and harmless.

We can define the paper formats according to their measures and these are defined in ISO standard 216 one, which in turn includes the standard DIN 476. This applies in most of the world. I there are plenty of measures for the role, but the most used are the Serie A and to a lesser extent Serie B.

In Serie A, the most widely used format is the A4 (210x297mm) or also called "sheet" used in most printers and fotocopiadoras.

Series B is defined for intermediate sizes Series A. For example, the B4 is the intermediate size between A3 and A4.
