Q
can polyvinyl chloride dissolve in acetone
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Polyvinyl chloride, commonly known as PVC, does not readily dissolve in acetone. PVC is a thermoplastic polymer that exhibits high chemical resistance, which explains why non-polar solvents like acetone have limited effect on it. The chemical structure of PVC, characterized by its long-chain polymer backbone and chlorine atoms, contributes to its overall resistance to solvation by acetone. While some plasticizers added to PVC to improve its flexibility might slightly swell or soften in acetone, the PVC polymer itself remains largely undissolved. For complete dissolution, a mixture of solvents or conditions that can break the polymer chains are typically needed, which acetone alone cannot provide. This resistance to solvents like acetone is one of the reasons PVC is widely used in construction and piping applications, where chemical stability is crucial.
