Vinyl Use
What is Self-Adhesive Vinyl?
This article takes a closer look at vinyl and explores some of its properties.
Vinyl is probably the world's most versatile plastic material.
It is a type of plastic that comes from combining ethylene (found in crude oil) and chlorine (found in salt). When combined together these substances become Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) resin, or as it is better known - Vinyl. It is then further processed to be made more flexible, rigid, semi-liquid, clear or colourful, thick or thin.
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.
Although the most common use of vinyl is that in construction (e.g. vinyl flooring) there are hundreds of other applications particularly in the sign industry where vinyl products include vinyl stickers, vinyl graphics, banners, vehicle graphics and floor stickers.
Vinyl is a very strong and durable plastic material that can be manufactured in a variety of colours and properties. It is resistant to moisture and humidity.
How "Green" is Vinyl?
Despite public perception vinyl can easily be recycled and is a very environmentally friendly material. Vinyl helps in the preservation of environmental resources since approximately 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. When crude oil runs out, the oil element of vinyl could be substituted with another oil source such as vegetable oil.
Different Types of Self-Adhesive Vinyl
Self-adhesive vinyl comes in three main categories, namely: monomeric vinyl, polymeric vinyl and cast vinyl. The differences relate to the way they are made.
Monomeric vinyl is the cheapest of the self-adhesive vinyls with a bond-life of up to 3 years. It has a tendency to shrink over time and often comes with a water based adhesive that limits the bond life. Most promotional stickers are made with monomeric vinyl since the sticker life expectancy does not need to be greater that 1 year.
Polymeric vinyl can have a bond life of anything up to 7 years. Generally it is prone to less shrinkage and often comes with a solvent based adhesive that repels moisture and thus enhances the bond life. General vinyl signage should normally be made with quality polymeric vinyls.
Cast vinyl is the deluxe of vinyls with properties that allow the vinyl to "memorise" curves and contours in the surface and to stay in position without returning to its original flat postion. Vehicle wraps use cast vinyls since the vinyl has to be applied over all the contours of a vehicle.

what kind of saw blade do I use to cut vinyl blinds?
I bought cheap vinyl mini blinds for my bedroom and they are 1/2 and inch too wide. They are not the ones Home Depot will trim so I want to ask my son to do it but I dont know what saw blade to use. I have seen them cut blinds there before so I know he can use his chop saw.
I use my chop saw errr miter saw. (The big scary looking one you pull the handle down to make angle cuts in trim) Compact the shade...Put a rubber band on both sides where you want to have it cut so it does not wiggle and draw a marker line. Cut evenly left and right so the edges end up the same ( look at the hardware on top so you don't cut through it) Take the little caps off the bottom and hold on to them. By putting 2 rows of tape or a rubber bands on the left and right the little plastic pieces don't go flying all over. and the curtain stays straight. Takes 2 seconds to cut it down.
