PVCu or uPVC? |
What is the difference between uPVC and PVCu?
There is no difference. PVCu and uPVC refer to the exact same material; it’s just that the ‘u’ is placed differently. Naturally, this has resulted in a lot of confusion along with the not unreasonable assumption that they must be different materials.
This is not the case at all. The placement of the ‘u’, which stands for un-plasticised, is a result of changes made to the term in the 1980s. Back then it was known only as uPVC, which would stand for Un-plasticised Poly Vinyl Chloride, but was changed to PVCu in order to fall in with the rest of Europe. Basically, it’s all a matter of language. Most European languages use a different sentence structure to the English language, placing the noun before the adjective.
In English, calling it uPVC makes more grammatical sense but this is not something that occurs within most of the European languages, so it was introduced for the sake of uniformity and fairness. To English speakers, it might seem a bit strange, but PVCu is used all across the world so it makes sense to make this change.
