WHAT DOES POLYVINYL CHLORIDE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

polyvinyl chloride

Polyvinyl chloride

Poly, commonly abbreviated PVC, is the third-most widely produced polymer, after polyethylene and polypropylene. PVC comes in two basic forms: rigid and flexible. The rigid form of PVC is used in construction for pipe, and in profile applications such as doors and windows. It is also used for bottles and other non-food packaging, and cards. It can be made softer and more flexible by the addition of plasticizers, the most widely used being phthalates. In this form, it is also used in plumbing, electrical cable insulation, imitation leather, signage, inflatable products and many applications where it replaces rubber. Pure poly is a white, brittle solid. It is insoluble in alcohol, but slightly soluble in tetrahydrofuran.
