PVC is used to make construction materials (such as pipes, flooring, and wiring), and a range of consumer products (plastic bottles and containers, baby bottles, toys, records and clothes). The manufacture of PVC involves the use and emission of dioxin, but more importantly for the health of humans, PVC products can leach toxic additives, like phthalates, throughout their use. Phthalates are added to PVC products to make them softer and more flexible, but these chemicals are known to disrupt hormones, leading to birth defects of male reproductive organs.

Poly Vinyl Chloride 00

PVC, polyvinyl chloride, is the most popular material for making bank and financial cards. Due to the development of IC cards, optical cards and other innovations other materials may be used in the future. Some cards are being produced in polyester, polycarbonate, and there is even a biodegradeable card made of starch. PVC is easy to emboss, and this has been an advantage. A disadvantage not shared by polyester is PVC's low melting temperature.(empty) read- Read is a process of using a magnetic head to detect flux changes on a stripe and to convert these changes to binary data.

Polyvinyl Chloride is used today for cold water piping (outside/underground) as well as for sewers, drains, wastes and venting pipes and fittings.
