Many of us love to buy things for our home especially if those are for decoration purposes, but do we really know what they are made of? Others are made by natural plants like, wood and lumber while others are made up of man-made materials like plastic, resin and vinyl. One of the synthetic materials that is widely used today is the vinyl. Many of us may have come across the term vinyl sliding, vinyl flooring, vinyl records, vinyl gloves and many more, but may not even know exactly what vinyl is. As we all know, vinyl does not come from natural substance, it is a type of plastic that is made from ethylene which are found mostly in crude oil and chlorine common in regular salt. When processed, both the substance will form into Polyvinyl Chloride or what we called PVC resin, or referred to as vinyl.
They invented vinyl for the purpose of developing a material that would help manufacture everyday products that were easier to make, more durable, and cheaper than what was available. Today, vinyl has become the second largest manufactured and sold plastic resin in the entire world. Vinyl is resistant to moisture and humidity, that is why it is very ideal or highly suitable to be used in the manufacture of many different products. One of the newest addition to these products are window boxes, this is a pure test to vinyl's strong and durable plastic material that can withstand any weather condition. These vinyl window boxes comes in different size, color and design that would fit perfectly in every windows of your home.
Vinyl is a very environmental friendly material too, although it is a plastic material but it can easily be recycled and it also helps in preservation of environmental resources. In comparison to various other materials used by the packing industry, vinyl requires lesser amount of natural resources to make, utilizes much lesser energy for manufacture, and also releases lower emissions into the environment.
