What is the difference between Hygroscopic and hydrophilic component?
"http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_difference_between_hydroscopic_and_hygroscopic" That's easy. Hydroscopic is not a word. The true term is "hygroscopic" and it refers to a material or solution that readily uptakes moisture from the atmosphere. FYI...a hydroscope is a sort of microscope used to look into deep water. I guess "hydroscopic" could be used to refer to the way in which an image was obtained via the hydroscope. So it probably really is a word.

Is polyvinyl chloride PVC hygroscopic?
As far as I know, the PVC is not hygroscopic, it doesn't absorb the moisture. There are several types of PVC though, so there could be some hygroscopic PVC resin, but I haven't encountered it yet. Normally it is dried by hot air driers, which are not suitable for hygroscopic materials, therefore I assume PVC is not hygroscopic...
