The thermal conductivity of flexible PVC is approximately 0.14 W/m·K.
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.
PVC is more conductive than wood because PVC is a plastic material that does not conduct electricity, while wood is a natural insulator and does not conduct electricity well. If electrical conductivity is a factor, PVC would be a better choice than wood.
The primary ingredients used in PVC pipe manufacturing are PVC resin, which is the main component providing strength and durability, along with plasticizers to increase flexibility, stabilizers to prevent degradation from heat and UV exposure, and lubricants to aid in processing. Pigments may also be added for color.
Melting PVC can release toxic fumes, so it is not recommended for casting projects. Instead, consider using materials such as resin or wax for casting as they are safer and more suitable for this purpose.
Flexible PVC
The smaller sizes are more flexible. Colder temps affect flexibility.

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.
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.
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.)
Cholesterol.
It makes it stiffer and even more flame retardent.
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.
EMT conduit is made of metal and is more rigid, while PVC conduit is made of plastic and is more flexible. EMT conduit is typically used for indoor applications, while PVC conduit is better suited for outdoor or underground installations. The choice between the two depends on the specific needs of your electrical wiring project.
