Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is not extracted in the traditional sense, as it is a synthetic polymer made from the polymerization of vinyl chloride monomer (VCM). VCM is produced through the chlorination of ethylene, which is derived from fossil fuels such as natural gas or crude oil. The extraction process involves several chemical reactions, including the combination of chlorine with ethylene, followed by the polymerization of the resulting vinyl chloride. The final product, PVC, is then processed and formed into various products for industrial and consumer use.
