Flexible PVC
PVC plastic would be the best insulator.
There are various densities of PVC, so this is impossible to answer.
Thank you.
Paper is flexible because you can bend it. That is how I know instead of going on the internet.

The smaller sizes are more flexible. Colder temps affect flexibility.
The thermal conductivity of flexible PVC is approximately 0.14 W/m·K.
None. PVC is not made to be glued to concrete.

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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
