Vinyl chloride is a chemical intermediate, not a final product. Due to the hazardous nature of vinyl chloride to human health there are no end products that use vinyl chloride in its monomer form. Polyvinyl chloride is very stable, storable, and nowhere near as acutely hazardous as the monomer.
Vinyl chloride liquid is fed to polymerization reactors where it is converted from a monomer to a polymer PVC. The final product of the polymerization process is PVC in either a flake or pellet form. From its flake or pellet form PVC is sold to companies that heat and mold the PVC into end products such as PVC pipe and bottles. Tens of billions of pounds of PVC are sold on the global market each year.
Until 1974, vinyl chloride was used in aerosol spray propellant. Prior to the removal of vinyl chloride from hair spray the accumulation of vinyl chloride vapor in hair salons may have exceeded the NOAEL (No Observable Adverse Effect Level) exposure guidelines.
Vinyl chloride was briefly used as an inhalational anaesthetic, in a similar vein to ethyl chloride, though its toxicity forced this practice to be abandoned.
What else can I help you with?
What is the polymer of PVC?
The monomer of Polyvinylchloride (PVC) is vinyl chloride!! which is simply a hydrogen atom replaced by a chlorine atom in ethylene (monomer for polyethylene) i.e CH2=CHCl. Hope this helps.
What is the systematic name of the polymer referred to above as PVC?
PVC or polyvinyl chloride is a polymer created from the alkene monomer vinyl chloride (CH2=CHCl)
What is the monomer unit of cellulose?
It depends on the type of plastic. Different plastics have different monomer units. PVC- Poly Vinyl Chloride has Vinyl Chloride CH2=CHCl as the monomer unit. Polyethylene has ethylene (ethene) CH2=CH2 as the monomer unit. There are many others.
Where does polyvinyl come from?
Polyvinyl, specifically polyvinyl chloride (PVC), is derived from vinyl chloride, a colorless gas produced from the polymerization of vinyl chloride monomer. Vinyl chloride is synthesized primarily from ethylene, which is derived from petroleum or natural gas, and chlorine, obtained through the electrolysis of saltwater. This process involves several chemical reactions, resulting in the formation of PVC, a versatile and widely used plastic in various applications, including construction, healthcare, and packaging.
What is monomer monomer monomer polymer?
a monomer Polymers are composed of monomers.
Monomer used to make polychloroethene?
The monomer used to make polychloroethene is vinyl chloride. It undergoes polymerization to form the polymer polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which is a widely used plastic in various applications, such as piping, flooring, and packaging.
What is the polymer of PVC?
The monomer of Polyvinylchloride (PVC) is vinyl chloride!! which is simply a hydrogen atom replaced by a chlorine atom in ethylene (monomer for polyethylene) i.e CH2=CHCl. Hope this helps.
What monoer is used in PVC?
I'm going to assume that you mean monomer, in which case the monomer of poly-vinyl chloride is vinyl chloride. It is two carbon atoms double bonded, with a chloro group attached to one, and associated hydrogen atoms attached to the other.
What chemicals are used to produce PVC pipe?
it is called polyvinyl chloride. PVC for short. it is produced by polymerization of the vinyl chloride monomer. around 57% of it is chlorine and part petroleum.
What is the systematic name of the polymer referred to above as PVC?
PVC or polyvinyl chloride is a polymer created from the alkene monomer vinyl chloride (CH2=CHCl)

What is monomer monomer monomer polymer?
a monomer Polymers are composed of monomers.
What is the monomer for sodium chloride?
The formula unit of sodium chloride is NaCl but it is not a true monomer.
Poly vinyl chloride element or mixture?
poly vinyl chloride is a polymer made by polmerisation of vinyl chloride.
Is vinyl chloride a drug?
Vinyl chloride is not a drug. It is a chemical used primarily in the production of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin and plastic products. Exposure to vinyl chloride has been associated with serious health risks, including cancer.
What can vinyl chloride do to the human body?
vinyl cloride monomer is highly carciogenic and flamable it is normally stored in pressured storage tank or sphererical tank to keep it in liquid form TOXICITY OR THRESOLD LIMIT VALUE IS 1 PPM FOR 8 HRS DURATION and BOILING POINT IS -13.6 DEG CELCIUSThe real answer is, vinyl chloride
