Unplasticised PVC or uPVC are also the rigid PVC. Pipes of these materials are restricted in some countries like USA due to environmental hazardous during use & manufacturing.
Advantages Cheap, good acid and alkali resistance. Flame-retardant. Stiff and strong. Can be transparent. Good vapour barrier properties. Good UV resistance. Disadvantages Difficult to melt process, requires modification. Limited solvent stress cracking resistance. Becomes brittle at (c 5°C (40°F) ) unless impact modified. Low continuous service temperature of 50°C (120°F).
Applications Pipe and pipefittings, building products e.g. gutters, cladding, window frames. Bottles, film, records, floor tiling

Flexible PVC
PVC plastic would be the best insulator.
There are various densities of PVC, so this is impossible to answer.
Thank you.
So, the full or long form of PVC is 'polyvinyl chloride'.it is the third most used thermoplastic polymer and polythylene and polypropylene! BY- MR. DAKSH KUMAR SINGH!
The main difference between PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and uPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride) pipes is the composition of the material. PVC pipes contain added plasticizers to make them more flexible, whereas uPVC pipes are rigid and do not contain plasticizers, making them better suited for pressure applications such as water supply lines. uPVC pipes are also more resistant to chemical corrosion and are typically used in plumbing and drainage systems.
If you are revering to PVC as in "PVC pipe" or "PVC clothing" then is stands for Polyvinyl Chloride.
PolyVinylChloride - its the material its made from - PVC.

PVC is Polyvinyl Chloride, a thermoplastic. PVC cable is a conductor or cable using PVC as an insulator.
To mount PVC to a flat surface effectively, you can use PVC adhesive or PVC brackets. Apply the adhesive to the back of the PVC and press it firmly onto the surface. Alternatively, use PVC brackets to secure the PVC in place by screwing them into the surface and sliding the PVC into the brackets.
PVC Primer and PVC glue
Hot water bottles are made from polyvinyl chloride(PVC) and rubber. Hot water bottles are manufactured such that they don't leak ,have long durability and provide good heat.
The best PVC pipe leak sealant to use for repairing a leak in a PVC pipe is a solvent-based PVC cement specifically designed for PVC pipes.
