Key Properties
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is one of the most widely produced plastic polymers, valued for its versatility and durability. It is a synthetic polymer made from the polymerization of vinyl chloride monomers. PVC is notable for its excellent chemical resistance, mechanical strength, and low cost, making it a preferred choice in various applications. It can be produced in both rigid and flexible forms, allowing for a wide range of uses in construction, healthcare, and consumer goods.
Also known as PVC.

- Substance
Polyvinyl chloride typically appears as a white to off-white powder or granules. It has a density of approximately 1.4 g/cm³ and a melting point that varies depending on the formulation, generally around 75-105 °C for rigid PVC. PVC is insoluble in water but can be dissolved in organic solvents such as tetrahydrofuran. The material is non-flammable in its solid form, with a glass transition temperature of about 80 °C, and it exhibits good thermal stability under normal conditions.
