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.)
PVC does not technically have an expiration date, as it is a durable material that can last for many years. However, prolonged exposure to sunlight and extreme temperatures can cause PVC to weaken and degrade over time. It is always best to store PVC products in a cool, dry place to maintain their integrity.
UPVC is unplasticised, rigid, PVC. PVC resin must be compounded with various additives to make it a useful product. Heat stabilisers, pigments, lubricants,process aids, impact modifiers and fillers are all added to the raw PVC resin to allow it to be processed into a durable product. If a liquid plasticiser is added to the PVC compound the finished PVC product becomes flexible, ie, no longer rigid.
Ultraviolet Light does slowly break down PVC, but the amount of time it will take ranges in years depending on the materials thickness and how much exposure it actually gets.
Certain grades of PVC are resistant to acids, with improved resistance at higher molecular weights. However, PVC may not be suitable for highly corrosive or concentrated acid applications as it can soften or degrade over time. It's always best to consult with a chemical compatibility chart or supplier for specific acid resistance information.
PVC polymers can become degraded through exposure to heat, UV radiation, or chemical agents. These factors can break down the polymer chains, leading to decreased mechanical strength, discoloration, and eventually structural failure. In the case of PVC, degradation can also release toxic byproducts such as hydrogen chloride gas.
One person cannot degrade another. You can only degrade yourself.
If you are revering to PVC as in "PVC pipe" or "PVC clothing" then is stands for Polyvinyl Chloride.
Peter likes to degrade people by calling them embarrassing names. The bully would always degrade her. If a machine is not properly maintained its performance will degrade. His harsh and scolding remarks did nothing but degrade the child. Exposure to the rain will degrade the DNA sample.
what things to fungi degrade
PolyVinylChloride - its the material its made from - PVC.
