What is the thermal conductivity of flexible PVC?
0.14 - 0.17 W*m^-1*K^-1
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.
What makes us flexible?
You mom, that's what.
Which is the more flexible - paper cup or metal nail?
Of course a paper cup would be more flexible. Nails are hard to bend.
What kinds of plastic banding are available on the market?
You can buy PVC, polypropylene, or metal plastic banding. The metal one is a lot more sturdier, but a lot more expensive compared to the pvc or plastic ones that are widely available on the market.
How do you define flexible PVC?
Flexible PVC
Is PVC flexible?
The smaller sizes are more flexible. Colder temps affect flexibility.
Is PVC pipe flexible?

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 glue should be used to seal flexible PVC into concrete?
None. PVC is not made to be glued to concrete.
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.
Why PVC is soft and flexible whereas bakelite is hard and brittle?

What steroid is in glycoproteins that makes the membrane more flexible?
Cholesterol.
What is the thermal conductivity of flexible PVC?
0.14 - 0.17 W*m^-1*K^-1
How does the addition of extra chlorine to PVC change its chemical properties?
It makes it stiffer and even more flame retardent.
A connective tissue that makes up the skeletonthat is more flexible than bone?
cartilage
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.
