Vinyl siding is made of synthetic materials, mostly polyvinyl chloride. This is what the abbreviation PVC stands for.
About 80 percent of its weight is PVC resin, and the remaining 20 percent is composed of other ingredients that determine it's color, sheen, resistance, flexibility, and it's durability.
The thickness can vary from .40 mil in less expensive grades, often called "Builder's Grade" to product as thick as.52 mil in the higher "Premium Grade" products.
The premium grades of vinyl siding are more 'pure' PVC without recycled, ground up scraps and binders.
Additionally, they have better color retention because they have UV protection added to help lessen the effect of the sun's rays over time.
