What is the systematic name of the polymer referred to above as PVC?

Common name for a polymer of vinyl chloride?
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a common name for a polymer of vinyl chloride. PVC is widely used in construction, healthcare, automotive, and other industries due to its durability, flexibility, and resistance to chemicals. It is commonly known for its use in pipes, flooring, window frames, and vinyl records.
What is the polymer of PVC?
The monomer of Polyvinylchloride (PVC) is vinyl chloride!! which is simply a hydrogen atom replaced by a chlorine atom in ethylene (monomer for polyethylene) i.e CH2=CHCl. Hope this helps.
What is Vinyl Chloride Monomer used for?
Vinyl chloride is a chemical intermediate, not a final product. Due to the hazardous nature of vinyl chloride to human health there are no end products that use vinyl chloride in its monomer form. Polyvinyl chloride is very stable, storable, and nowhere near as acutely hazardous as the monomer. Vinyl chloride liquid is fed to polymerization reactors where it is converted from a monomer to a polymer PVC. The final product of the polymerization process is PVC in either a flake or pellet form. From its flake or pellet form PVC is sold to companies that heat and mold the PVC into end products such as PVC pipe and bottles. Tens of billions of pounds of PVC are sold on the global market each year. Until 1974, vinyl chloride was used in aerosol spray propellant. Prior to the removal of vinyl chloride from hair spray the accumulation of vinyl chloride vapor in hair salons may have exceeded the NOAEL (No Observable Adverse Effect Level) exposure guidelines. Vinyl chloride was briefly used as an inhalational anaesthetic, in a similar vein to ethyl chloride, though its toxicity forced this practice to be abandoned.
What is CH2CHCL?
PVC or Poly(vinyl chloride) PVC or Poly(vinyl chloride)
How do you know if your record is made from vinyl and not PVC?
PVC stands for poly VINYL chloride.
Is plastic siding cheeper than vinyl siding?
There the same thing. Vinyl siding is a PVC plastic resin siding.
What does the acronym PVC mean?
It may be Poly Vinyl Chloride as in PVC pipe.
Does vinyl siding burn?
Yes, the PVC or polyvinyl chloride used in vinyl siding or cladding does burn. When PVC burns toxins are formed.
What is PVC piping?
Utility pipes made out of Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) a plastic.
Is vinyl pool liners same as plastic?
This is unfortunately a circuitous question since both are common names for the same product. PVC stands for PolyVinyl Chloride and this type of liner is often refered to as a "Vinyl Liner". Sometimes when someone asks for a PVC pool liner they are referring to a Commercial (reinforced for strenght and textured for slip resistance) PVC Pool Liner or PVC Pool Membrane (e.g. RenoSys is the most successfully installed North American Brand). Whereas residential PVC or Vinyl Liners are only 20 to 28 mils thick, a Commercial membrane is reinforced with a scrim and is typically 60 mils thick.

What does PVC mean in plumbing?

What does PVC stand for in PVC pipe?

What does upvc stand for?
The plastic Poly Vinyl Chloride is commonly abbreviated to PVC. UPVC is Unplasticised Poly Vinyl Chloride and is a rigid form of PVC often used in the building industry as a low-maintenance material.
What is the melting point of vinyl for example a vinyl window frame?
The frame of a "Vinyl" window is made out of PVC (Polyvinylchloride). The properties of PVC will depend on the additives and other components added during the compounding step. Straight PVC has a melting point around 85 oC. Higher heat resistant PVC has a melting point around 180 oC.
