I think yours is PVC related work i.e., what I understand is that there is only one difference between PVC and uPVC and that is that PVC contains BPA and phthalates, which are two plasticizers that make it more flexible. The "u" in uPVC stands for "unplasticized," and because it doesn't have these extra materials, uPVC is often called rigid plastic.
If your unit is located in Bangalore, it comes under Zone-1. If I'm correct - your unit can be in -
