The technology of designing plastic windows and their transport from Poland since 1990

Abstract

PVC window and door constructions are more and more popular in architecture. The profile manufacturing technology, structure and materials are constantly being modified. The Author analyses technological changes that have been implemented within the period of the last 20 years on the basis of Polish market experience, where the technology of PVC window and door production was hardly known, in relation to the largest producer and exporter of such products in the European Union at present. The Author also suggests that the area under investigation demands special care within material engineering, transport and ecology.

Influence of fiber filler on the structure and properties of polyvinyl chloride / acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene blends

“…Being a large-tonnage material, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) occupies one of the leading places in the technology of polymeric and composite materials due to the presence of necessary for consumers technological and operational properties [3,4]; this enables to process it into various profile products (sheets, window profiles, pipes, siding, etc.) [5,6]. Increasing requirements for the operational and technological properties of PVC-based materials and products makes it necessary to introduce modifiers, technological additives, stabilizers, fillers, dyes, pigments, etc.…”
