2. A THERMOPLASTIC, OR THERMOSOFTENING PLASTIC,
IS A PLASTIC POLYMER MATERIAL THAT BECOMES
PLIABLE OR MOLDABLE AT A CERTAIN ELEVATED
TEMPERATURE AND SOLIDIFIES UPON COOLING. MOST
THERMOPLASTICS HAVE A HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT
TYPES OF PLASTICS
THERMOPLASTIC
THERMOSETTINGPLASTIC
A THERMOSETTING POLYMER, OFTEN CALLED A
THERMOSET, IS A POLYMER THAT IS OBTAINED BY
IRREVERSIBLY HARDENING A SOFT SOLID OR VISCOUS
LIQUID PREPOLYMER. CURING IS INDUCED BY HEAT OR
SUITABLE RADIATION AND MAY BE PROMOTED BY HIGH
PRESSURE, OR MIXING WITH A CATALYST.

3. PVC
(POLYVINYL CHLORIDE)
POLYVINYL CHLORIDE IS THE WORLD'S THIRD-MOST WIDELY PRODUCED SYNTHETIC PLASTIC POLYMER. ABOUT 40
MILLION TONS OF PVC ARE PRODUCED EACH YEAR. PVC COMES IN TWO BASIC FORMS: RIGID AND FLEXIBLE. THE RIGID
FORM OF PVC IS USED IN CONSTRUCTION FOR PIPE AND IN PROFILE APPLICATIONS SUCH AS DOORS AND WINDOWS
FEATURES OF PVC
1.DENSITY: PVC IS VERY DENSE COMPARED TO MOST PLASTICS (SPECIFIC GRAVITY AROUND 1.4)
2.ECONOMICS: PVC IS READILY AVAILABLE AND CHEAP.
3.HARDNESS: RIGID PVC RANKS WELL FOR HARDNESS AND DURABILITY.
4.STRENGTH: RIGID PVC HAS EXCELLENT TENSILE STRENGTH.
PRODUCTION
1. THE EXTRACTION OF SALT AND HYDROCARBON RESOURCES
2. THE PRODUCTION OF ETHYLENE AND CHLORINE FROM THESE RESOURCES
3. THE COMBINATION OF CHLORINE AND ETHYLENE TO MAKE THE VINYL CHLORIDE MONOMER (VCM)
4. THE POLYMERISATION OF VCM TO MAKE POLY-VINYL-CHLORIDE (PVC)
5. THE BLENDING OF PVC POLYMER WITH OTHER MATERIALS TO PRODUCE DIFFERENT FORMULATIONS
PROVIDING A WIDE RANGE OF PHYSICAL PROPERTIES.
Tensile Strength 2.60 N/mm²
Notched Impact Strength 2.0 - 45 Kj/m²
Thermal Coefficient of expansion 80 x 10-6
Max Cont Use Temp 60 oC
Density 1.38 g/cm3

4. ADVANTAGES
DISADVANTAGES
✓ PVC IS EXTREMELY DURABLE AND LIGHT WEIGHT IN NATURE WHICH WILL BE CONVINENT IN
CONSTRUCTION AND PLUMBING.
✓ ITS HIGH CHLORINE CONTENT MAKES IT AS A FIRE RETARDANT MATERIAL.
✓ PVC HAS IMPECCABLE TENSILE STRENGTH AND IMPACT RESISTANCE.
✓ PVC HAS GREAT RESISTANCE TO CHEMICALS AND ALKALIS.
✓ PVC HAS EXCELLENT ELECTRIC INSULATION PROPERTY
✓ PVC IS READILY AVAILABLE AND INEXPENSIVE POLYMER
✓ PVC CAN CAUSE HEALTH HAZARD WHEN BURNT AS IT EMITS HYDROGEN CHLORIDE FUMES
✓ THESE TOXINS REALASE BY THE PVC LINKED TO THE CONDITIONS OF ASTHMA, ENDOCRINE
DISRUPTIONDISRUPTION AND DIMINISED LUNG FUNCTION.
✓ PVC HAS VERY POOR HEAT STABILITY TO OVERCOME THIS ADDITIVES THAT STABLIZE IT AT
HIGHER TEMPERATURES ARE USED.
✓ PVC ALSO RAISE A STRONG QUESTION AGAINST THE SUSTAINABLE ASPECT AS WE ARE HOPING
TO ACHIEVE ZERO CARBON EMMISION IN THE YEAR 2050.
✓ THOUGH PVC IS NOT A ECO -FRIENDLY MATERIAL THEY ARE CONSIDERED AS AN EXCELLENT
MATERIAL OVERALL. ITS UNIQUE BLEND OF QUALITIES MAKES IT AN CHOICE FOR MODERN
BUSSINESS.
APPLICATION
➢ PVC IS CONSIDERED AS AN ALTERNATIVE FOR TRADITIONAL WOOD FRAME IN A COST EFFICIENT
MANNER.
➢ IN CONSTRUCTION AREA IT PROVIDES IS USAGE BY SERVING IN THE PRODUCTION OF WINDOW AND
DOOR PROFILES,PIPES AND FITTINGS,TELECOM WIRING AND CABLES ETC.
➢ MANY LIFE SAVING AND HEALTH CARE PRODUCTS ARE MADE FROM PVC LIKE BLOOD BAGS,SURGICAL
AND EXAMINATION GLOVES,CONTAINERS FOR URINE CONTINENCE AND INTRAVENOUS SOLUTION.
➢ ARTIFICIAL SKIN" WHICH IS USED IN EMERGENCY BURNING TREATMENT IS MADE USE OF PVC.
➢ MANY BLISTERS AND DOSAGE PACKAGES FOR PHARMACEUTICALS ARE MADE USING PVC.
➢ IN MAKING OF AUTOMOTIVE COMPONENTS PVC IS USED FOR MAKING INSTRUMENT PANELS AND
ASSOCIATED MOULDING,SEAT COVERINGS, INTERIOR DOOR PANEL,AUTO HARNESS WIRING.
