PVC is easier and cheaper to produce than other plastics. Two primary components used to produce plastics is hydrogen and carbon, however in production of PVC these molecules are replaced by chlorine (solvent) this component is the primary reason why it’s so difficult to bond PVC to PVC.
 
In the construction industry it is a real challenge to bond PVC to PVC as PVC is so widely used, for example PVC facia or PVC panelling or guttering.
