Polyvinyl Chloride (Pvc) (Archival)

A plastic, often abbreviated as PVC. It is not as chemically stable as some other plastics, since it can emit hydrochloric acid (which in turn can damage library materials) as it deteriorates, and therefore has limited application in the preservation of books and paper. Some plastics called vinyl may be polyvinyl chloride.

Polyvinyl Chloride (Pvc) (Carpet)

A heavy backing which is applied to the back of carpet tiles and 6 foot carpet to provide dimensional stability.

Polyvinyl Chloride (Pvc) (Energy)

A polymer of vinyl chloride. Tasteless. odorless, insoluble in most organic solvents. A member of the family vinyl resin, used in soft flexible films for food packaging and in molded rigid products, such as pipes, fibers, upholstery, and bristles.

Polyvinyl Chloride (Pvc) (Environment)

A tough, environmentally indestructible plastic that releases hydrochloric acid when burned.

Polyvinyl Chloride (Pvc) (Global Warming)

A polymer of vinyl chloride. Tasteless. odorless, insoluble in most organic solvents. A member of the family vinyl resin, used in soft flexible films for food packaging and in molded rigid products, such as pipes, fibers, upholstery, and bristles.

Polyvinyl Chloride (Pvc) (Roofing)

Polymer formed by polymerization of vinyl chloride monomer. Sometimes called vinyl.

Polyvinyl Chloride (Pvc) (Sanitation)

An artificial polymer made from vinyl chloride monomer (CH2:CHCl) and frequently used in pipes, sheets and vessels for transport, containment and treatment in water and wastewater facilities.

Polyvinyl Chloride (Pvc) (Shoes)

A synthetic plastic widely used for soling and coated upper materials, either dense or microcellular.

Polyvinyl Chloride (Pvc) (Wire)

A thermoplastic material composed of polymers of vinyl chloride, which may be rigid or elastomeric, depending on specific formulation.
