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.)


Why PVC is soft and flexible whereas bakelite is hard and brittle?

PVC is softer and flexible because it is a thermoplastic polymer, which means it can be easily molded and reshaped when heated. Bakelite, on the other hand, is a thermosetting polymer, which means it hardens irreversibly once molded and cannot be reshaped. This makes bakelite hard and brittle compared to PVC.


What are the benefits of using a flexible PVC coupling in plumbing installations?

Flexible PVC couplings in plumbing installations offer several benefits, including ease of installation, resistance to corrosion, flexibility to accommodate movement and vibration, and the ability to connect pipes of different materials.


How is PVC without plasticizer different from PVC with plasticizer?

PVC without plasticizer is rigid and hard, used in applications where stiffness is needed, such as pipes and window frames. PVC with plasticizer is flexible and soft, used in products like inflatable toys and medical tubing. The plasticizer helps increase the flexibility and workability of the PVC material.


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.


What makes PVC more flexible?

PVC can be made more flexible by adding plasticizers, which are molecules that increase the spacing between polymer chains, thus allowing them to move more freely. These plasticizers improve the polymer's flexibility and make it more resilient to bending and stretching. Additionally, the amount and type of plasticizer used can be adjusted to achieve the desired level of flexibility in the PVC material.


Can you use plumbers glue on a PVC inflatable boat?

NO. Although you may have plumbers PVC glue, it doesn't work well with flexible PVC like an inflatable. -Better products are Aqua Seal (available in Walmart Sports Dept) or 3M Marine Adhesive.


What are the differences between PVC and ABS pipes in terms of their durability, flexibility, and chemical resistance?

PVC pipes are more flexible and resistant to chemicals compared to ABS pipes. However, ABS pipes are generally more durable and impact-resistant than PVC pipes.
