Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) is characterized by high physical strength, resistance to corrosion and chemical attacks by acids, alkalis, salt solutions and many other chemicals. It is susceptible, however, to polar solvents such as ketones, some chlorinated hydrocarbons, and aromatics. The maximum service temperature of PVC is 140F.

An unstable plastic, generally called "vinyl" and "Naugahyde" that may exude oily plasticizers or emit corrosive and acid hydrogen-chloride gas. It is easily identified by its strong plastic odor. Do NOT use sheet protectors, binders, photo enclosures, corners or any other products made from vinyl with your photographs, negatives or memorabilia.
A plastic, generally referred to as "vinyl", that may exude plasticizers or emit corrosive and acidic hydrogen-chloride gas. PVC is often identifiable by its strong plastic odor. Page protectors, binders, photo enclosures, corners or any other products made from vinyl should never be used with photographs or in scrapbooks Vinyl and vinyl products are sold by a number of trade names.

A chlorinated substance commonly used in manufacturing of plastics for electrical cable insulation, pipes, packaging, flooring, siding, toys and furniture.
Thermoplastic compounds formed by polymerization or copolymerization of vinyl or vinylidene halides and vinyl esters. They are strong, with good abrasion resistance and superior aging properties than that of rubber.
A thermoplastic material composed of polymers of vinyl chloride, which may be rigid or elastomeric, depending on specific formulation.
A plastic material often used to create an impermeable layer in landfill caps.
A tough, environmentally indestructible plastic that releases hydrochloric acid when burned.
Thermoplastic for covering electrical leads and other uses. Abbreviated to PVC.
A resin prepared through the polymerization of vinyl chloride alone.
This thermoplastic, nearly colorless plastic is polymerized from vinyl chloride monomer and has good resistance to water, alcohols, weak acids and alkalis. It can be compounded with a high variety of plasticizers and stabilizers to offer from rigid to very flexible materials. Most commonly used for pipes, bottles and as plastisols.
A thermoplastic material composed of polymers of vinyl chloride. PVC is a colorless solid with outstanding resistance to water, alcohols, and concentrated acids and alkalies
Providing good barrier strength and colorability, PVC has gained position in several high-quality applications and is expected to show continued growth from a relatively small position (less than 5 percent) within the industry.
A popular ridged plastic film used in thermoforming made by the polymerization of vinyl chloride.
The common vinyl shielding used to cover the pairs in the copper four-pair wire used for numerous Ethernet standards. When burned it gives off deadly fumes,...
Commonly abbreviated to the initials PVC. The homopolymer of vinyl chloride. A thermoplastic made from sodium chloride (salt) salt and ethane (natural gas). It is a non-toxic, odourless, flame resistant, bio-stable and chemically resistant white powder which, when mixed with different additives and treated in various production processes, can be formed into a large number of plastic products. The term PVC is also generically used to describe products made of PVC (as for example PVC flooring, PVC gloves, etc...)
(PVC) A general purpose thermoplastic film
a chemical used to soften the plastic in some coin holders and albums. Also known as PVC, this chemical can damage the surfaces of coins.
a plastic used in flooring, records, vinyl siding, shower curtains, and garden hoses.
Rigid, durable plastic material used in plumbing for pipes and fittings.
A type of plastic formulation. Thin, flexible sheets of PVC plastic are used for pond liners. Rigid PVC plastic pipe is used for water supply lines.

Plastic polymer composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms, with the formula -(CH2-CHCl)n-; its monomer is vinyl chloride; PVC is a thermoplastic suitable for processing using most techniques.
(1) A polymer synthesized from vinyl chloride. It is thermoplastic in nature and has plasticizers added to impart flexibility; (2) Thermoplastic polymer, formulated with a plasticizer, used as a single ply sheet membrane material or liquid coating; (3) A synthetic thermoplastic polymer prepared from vinylchloride. PVC can be compounded into flexible and rigid forms through the use of plasticizers, stabilizers, fillers and other modifiers; rigid forms are used in pipes; flexible forms are used in the manufacture of sheeting and roof membrane materials.
