Q
what type of polymer is pvc
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
PVC, or polyvinyl chloride, is a type of thermoplastic polymer. It is a versatile material widely used in construction for pipes, in healthcare for tubing and blood bags, and in everyday products like credit cards and vinyl records. Its popularity stems from its durability, resistance to environmental degradation, and easy manufacturability. PVC comes in two basic forms: rigid (RPVC) and flexible, the latter achieved by adding plasticizers. Despite its widespread use, there are environmental concerns regarding PVC’s lifecycle, including its production and disposal, which releases hazardous chemicals. Efforts are made to recycle and manage PVC waste more responsibly.
