The oldest known sandals were
discovered in Fort Rock Cave in
the U.S. state of Oregon;
radiocarbon dating of the
sagebrush bark from which
they were woven indicates an
age of at least 10,000 years.

• Only Ipanema sandals are made from
a unique butter soft PVC suitable for
vegetarians. Specialised moulding
creates a sole that’s sublimely soft
and guarantees you a perfectly
padded underfoot. Industrial residues,
painting residues, surplus PVC and
the water used in production are 99%
recycled.

 History
• PVC was accidentally discovered on at least
two different occasions in the 19th century,
first in 1835 by Henri Victor Regnault and in
1872 by Eugen Baumann.
• In the early 20th century, the Russian
chemist Ivan Ostromislensky and Fritz Klatte
of the German chemical company Griesheim-
Elektron both attempted to use PVC in
commercial products.
• In 1926, Waldo Semon and the B.F. Goodrich
Company developed a method to plasticize
PVC by blending it with various additives.

 Preparation

• Poly(vinyl chloride) is produced by

polymerization of the monomer vinyl
chloride, as shown. Since about 57% of its
mass is chlorine, creating a given mass of
PVC requires less petroleum than many
other polymers.

 What are plasticisers and
why does PVC require them?

To make PVC soft and flexible,

plasticisers are added.
A number of different products are
used as plasticisers including
categories of chemicals known as
phthalates (or phthalate esters),
citrates and adipates.
MAIN MENU
 Plasticizers

• Most commonly phthalates, that give hard

plastics like PVC the desired flexibility and
durability.
• Diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP) is a common
phthalate plasticiser.
• C6H4[COO(CH2)7CH(CH3)2]2

MAIN MENU
 Recycling
• A new process of PVC Recycling is being
developed in Europe called Texiloop. This
process is based on a technology already
applied industrially in Europe and Japan,
called Vinyloop, which consists of
recovering PVC plastic from composite
materials through dissolution and
precipitation.
