The Extensive Applications of PVC
PVC is without doubt one of the most diversely used and useful types of plastic in modern manufacture. With applications spanning industries from industrial manufacture to agricultural and even food production, PVC is a material which lends itself to an incredible number of different uses. Thanks to its durability, flexibility and chemical resistance, polyvinyl chloride is found in clothing, flooring, inflatable structures, hosing and strip curtains alongside hundreds if not thousands of other items.
When used in clothing, the main strengths of PVC are its relatively low price in comparison to leather, rubber and latex, the fact that it is waterproof and that when suitably treated it very closely resembles leather. Due to these properties, the polymer is regularly found in jackets, bags, shoes and aprons. Despite the popularity of PVC clothing it is by no means the fashion industry which makes the most use of this popular material, that accolade falls to the manufacturing industry, which relies on PVC items for a number of roles.
PVC strip curtains are an absolute essential in any manufacturing or storage environment which requires closely controlled temperatures, containment of airborne particles or protection from pests. It is particularly useful in locations which experience a high level of motorised or pedestrian traffic and also helps to improve energy efficiency by making a positive impact on heat loss. Due to this series of useful traits and the low cost of PVC strip curtains, they are an ever popular addition to the majority of storage facilities- particularly those which are chilled for such purposes as food storage.
Of equal prevalence in industrial settings is PVC hose. This simple, unassuming item is used for myriad purposes, including but not limited to:
Water and fluid handling Hydraulics Food handling Beverage lines Coolant lines Crop spraying Chemical transfer
Due particularly to PVC's chemical resilience, low cost and flexibility, PVC hose is incredibly versatile and widely used in a great number of processes and manufacturing techniques. It is equally adept at fulfilling sanitation and suction purposes in the home or business environment and as such is produced in vast quantities to satisfy the worldwide demand. As it does not corrode, is waterproof and with the use of plasticizers: is incredibly flexible, PVC hose is invaluable in all manner of plumbing applications, alongside its numerous other uses.
PVC is a widely used material which boasts invaluable properties yet is relatively low-priced. Used for everything from fashion to sewerage pipes and food production to heat retention: PVC products are integrated into homes, rife in factories and even found under the tarmac of the streets the world over.

I'm looking for a sheet of plastic that is similar to the plastic used for 2 liter Coke bottles?
I want to be able to cut it with scissors and I want it to be bendable, but I want it to hold its shape.
Here's the use...
I'm basically making a very large funnel-type thing out of 4" PVC.
I cut several 12" strips longways around one side of the PVC, heated it and bent the strips out 45 degrees.
Now I need semi-pliable thin plastic sheets cut into triangles to epoxy around the inside to the strips to make it solid.
I also considered using the clear rubber/plastic floor mat stuff, but I think it might stretch and also considered the plastic gutter material but I think the plastic used for 2 liter bottles would work the best.
Any ideas?
