Abstract
The Dutch chemical industry has evolved into a leading supplier of chemical products and services in Europe. Ethylene, one of the largest volume commodity chemicals produced by the petrochemical sector is the main feedstock for the production of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Since this polymer is strong, lightweight, resistant to weathering and cost-effective it is widely used for building and construction applications, such as underground pipes, window frames and flooring.
