[Type] Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) [Uses] Rigid form used in mouldings of all kinds. Flexible form used in imitation leather cloth, raincoats, table cloths etc. Piping, electrical cable covering, guttering. Safety helmets and chemical tank linings.
Unplasticised form - hard and rigid. If plasticised it becomes soft, flexible and rubbery. It has good dimensional stability with good resistance to water, acids, alkalis and most common solvents. Plasticised material stiffens with age.
