Application

Poly(vinyl chloride), or PVC, in its low molecular weight form, is typically provided as a 50% suspension in water for research purposes. When softened with plasticizers such as esters, it becomes an incredibly versatile material used in various applications. This adaptability allows PVC to mimic leather for products like handbags and shoes, and to serve as a crucial component in manufacturing vinyl leather, plastic raincoats, shower curtains, garden hoses, and automobile upholstery. Its utility extends far beyond fashion; PVC is also a popular choice in construction due to its durability and cost-effectiveness. When plasticized, PVC's flexibility makes it suitable for electrical cable insulation, clothing, upholstery, inflatable products, and substitutes for rubber. The polymer consists of repeating chloroethyl units and stands as the third most widely produced plastic globally, following polyethylene and polypropylene. PVC's broad range of applications, from plumbing pipes and window frames to healthcare devices and flooring, is a testament to its unique properties, including resistance to water and chemicals, low maintenance, and easy processing.
