PVC is manufactured by Bulk, Solution, Suspension, and Emulsion Polymerization of Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM), using Free-Radical Initiators.
As a Polymer Repeating Unit, its Chemical Structure is: -(CH2-CHCl)n-
It is a white, brittle solid Material available in Powder Form or Granules with a glass transition temperature of 70-80°C.
Pure PVC is a high strength Thermoplastic Material used in the construction trades, where its rigidity and low flammability are useful in pipe, conduit, siding, window frames, and door frames.
In combination with Plasticizer (sometimes in concentrations as high as 50 percent), it is familiar to consumers as floor tile, garden hose, imitation leather upholstery, and shower curtains.
