Acetone is not known as hygroscopic.
Calcium chloride absorb easily water and become a hydrate; after some time, being hygroscopic and deliquescent, solid calcium chloride is transformed into a solution.
Hygroscopic substances include cellulose fiber such as ethanol, methanol and diesel fuel. As hydrogen bonding causes pure ethanol to readily absorbs water from the air, ethanol is considered to be hygroscopic.
In crystalline form it's non-hygroscopic, or has only slight hygroscopicity. In powder form it is, yes.
Substances which absorb moisture from atmosphere without dissolving in it are - HYGROSCOPIC substances. They are used as "drying agents". ex: CaO, ethyl alcohol, concentrated sulphuric acid.
Barium chloride BaCl2 is quite hygroscopic and thus might exist as di-hydrate: BaCl2.2H2O Extra: BaCl does NOT exsist.
Non-Hygroscopic

The hair of the tail of horse is hygroscopic material.
Polyol Ester is also hygroscopic
Hygroscopic substances are used to absorb humidity.
An unknown being weighed is hygroscopic.
Potassium hydroxide is hygroscopic and deliquescent.
Yes its a hydrate = Crystalline hydrate
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...
No.
