Vinyl is Flame Resistant

Vinyl is the only plastic, which can be manufactured into thin, flexible wall coverings, car tops or kept rigid to be used in construction on buildings.

Vinyl is naturally flame resistant, generally will inhibit the spread of flames,
and will not continue to burn once the flame source has been removed. Vinyl also burns at a higher temperature than other materials, making it the material of choice for construction and transportation applications. Unlike metal tubing, vinyl conduits will not arc or short, thus reducing fire hazards in electrical applications.

Energy Efficiency and Conservation:

Vinyl is energy-efficient and environmentally sound. It takes less energy to make, generates fewer emissions, and uses fewer natural resources than any other leading packaging material. Because it uses less petroleum, vinyl is the most energy-efficient plastic manufactured. Of the 12 major plastics used in transportation and construction, vinyl is one of three with the lowest energy requirements, making it perfect for windows, doors, and siding.
