Vinyl records continued to be used by DJs, especially those playing dance music, well after CDs become the preferred medium among regular consumers. Vinyl is a very environment-friendly material, not only because it can be recycled, but also for many other reasons. Vinyl helps in the preservation of environmental resources as 57% of vinyl is made from common salt, which is a renewable natural substance. Non-replenish able resources such as crude oil only account for 43% of vinyl resin, thus making it nature friendly. Vinyl was first invented in 1920 by scientists who wanted to develop a material that would help to 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.

The most common use of vinyl is that in construction, especially as vinyl flooring and vinyl siding. In fact, these uses of vinyl are often thought of as its only uses. In addition to these, vinyl has many other uses because of its ability to combine with various additives and modifiers, thus making vinyl highly suitable to be used in the manufacture of many different products. Common Properties Of Vinyl For example, various studies have concluded that the phthalates diisononyl phthalate (DINP) and diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP) have no adverse effect on human health in a range of common uses.Vinyl is used in the manufacture of many children’s toys. Because it is easy to clean, cost effective, and safe for children, it is used in making many popular toys. Even if vinyl toys are put in the mouth by children, it does not pose any danger to them (attributed to vinyl). Vinyl is a flexible substance and can thus be used for various toys.

Dr. Waldo successfully molded heels of shoes with PVC and also used it to form coatings for various products such as wires, pliers etc. But the one major thing that Dr. Waldo was not successful was to get PVC to bond to metal, which was what he was trying to develop in the first place. Vinyl is a plastic material, which unlike other plastics, can easily be recycled. Because of the durability of vinyl, products made from this material have a long life span. Add to this the fact that the vinyl can then be recycled, which translates into an even longer life of the vinyl plastic resin. One of the main issues concerns the use of phthalates as a plasticizer in its production, and evidence is now emerging that this group of substances may have implications for human health, although the science is currently inconclusive. When it finds its way into the environment, PVC, along with other similar plastics, take an extremely long time to break down, often several hundred years.

In 1926, a man named Waldo Semon was hired by the BF Goodrich Company to develop a kind of substance that would help to bond metal and rubber together. Mr. Waldo Semon, who was an assistant chemistry teacher with the University of Washington, thus started his research to develop a new manmade adhesive that would be cheaper than available alternatives. However, huge amounts of vinyl and other plastics are still destined for landfill, a situation that is unsustainable in the long term. An invaluable material that needs to be used correctly Vinyl is a synthetic plastic material that has the most uses compared to any other plastic in the world. But the discovery of this highly versatile substance was not by design, but quite by accident. Many of you may have come across the terms vinyl siding, vinyl records, vinyl flooring, vinyl gloves etc, but may not know what exactly vinyl is.

In addition to the above, Vinyl is also used in making many electronic products and as a waterproofing agent for many a product. Other Uses Furthermore, when plastic enters the sea, it is broken down by wind and sunlight into microplastics, which are then ingested by animals. These can then work their way up the food chain and are eventually ingested by humans too.
