Which material is likely to slow the flow of electric charges the most copper germanium or PVC plastic?
PVC plastic would be the best insulator.
What is theWeight of PVC in kg per cubic meter?
There are various densities of PVC, so this is impossible to answer.
What is the meaning of PVC?
Thank you.
Is paper flexible or elastic?
Paper is flexible because you can bend it. That is how I know instead of going on the internet.
What is the long form of PVC?
So, the full or long form of PVC is 'polyvinyl chloride'.it is the third most used thermoplastic polymer and polythylene and polypropylene! BY- MR. DAKSH KUMAR SINGH!
Does hcl acid react with PVC?
Depends on what king of PVC and what's the concentration of the acid. For example the 35% HCl damages the flexible PVC on 50°C, but the rigid PVC not... (The flexible PVC become rigid I think.)
What makes PVC more flexible?
plastersizers
Is PVC flexible?
The smaller sizes are more flexible. Colder temps affect flexibility.
What glue should be used to seal flexible PVC into concrete?
None. PVC is not made to be glued to concrete.
Is PVC pipe flexible?
The smaller sizes are more flexible. Colder temps affect flexibility.
Why PVC is soft and flexible whereas bakelite is hard and brittle?
Bemakjhs
What is the thermal conductivity of flexible PVC?
0.14 - 0.17 W*m^-1*K^-1
Is flexible PVC OK for buried pool suction and return lines?
I have never seen flexible PVC. However It does not seem like a good idea to use flexible piping for the suction side of the system especial y with the weight of fill on top of it. even on the pressure side there could be problems with the possibility that the weight of the fill on top of the tubing would eventualy flatten it.
How do you make soft PVC compound?
PVC in its native state is fairly rigid. Flexible PVC ("Vinyl") is made by adding plasticizers to the material. In the old days, compounds such as octyl phthalate were simply added into the mix and would slowly leach out or evaporate over time; this is why old vinyl used to get brittle after a while. The modern method is to introduce internal plasticizers which are actually part of the (mostly) PVC molecule; these cannot leach out and keep the vinyl flexible.
Why do plastics such as PVC become brittle with age?
PVC is kind of brittle to start with, though it becomes more brittle with age if exposed to sunlight, because UV rays break some of the bonds in the molecules. "Vinyl" (flexible PVC) is flexible because it has additional compounds called "plasticizers" added to it. Over time, these can leach out, again leading to a more rigid and brittle material.
Can you use plumbers glue on a PVC inflatable boat?
NO. Although you may have plumbers PVC glue, it doesn't work well with flexible PVC like an inflatable. -Better products are Aqua Seal (available in Walmart Sports Dept) or 3M Marine Adhesive.
What are the ingredients used in PVC pipe manufacturing?
Carbon, hydrogen, chlorine. If it's flexible, there's probably some oxygen in there as well. Rigid PVC is poly(vinyl chloride), where vinyl chloride is ethene with one of the hydrogens replaced by a chlorine atom. Flexible PVC ... sometimes called simply "vinyl" ... has additives like octyl phthalate (which contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen) that keep the polymer swollen and flexible.
