2. Polyvinyl chloride - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyvinyl_chloride

   PVC comes in rigid (sometimes abbreviated as RPVC) and flexible forms. Rigid PVC is used in construction for pipes, doors and windows. It is also used in making plastic bottles, packaging, and bank or membership cards. Adding plasticizers makes PVC softer and more flexible.

3. Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorinated_polyvinyl_chloride

   Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) is a thermoplastic produced by chlorination of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin. CPVC is significantly more flexible than PVC, and can also withstand higher temperatures. Uses include hot and cold water delivery pipes and industrial liquid handling.

4. Plastisol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastisol

   Plastisol. A plastisol is a colloidal dispersion of small polymer particles, usually polyvinyl chloride (PVC), in a liquid plasticizer.When heated to around 180 °C (356 °F), the plastic particles absorb the plasticizer, causing them to swell and fuse together forming a viscous gel.

5. Phthalates - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phthalates

   Between 90 and 95% of all phthalates are used as plasticisers for the production of flexible PVC. [11] [12] They were the first commercially important compounds for this role, [13] a historic advantage that has led to them becoming firmly embedded in flexible PVC technology. [14]

6. List of synthetic polymers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_synthetic_polymers

   The plastic kits and covers are mostly made of synthetic polymers like polythene, and tires are manufactured from polybutadienes. [1] However, due to the environmental issues created by these synthetic polymers which are mostly non-biodegradable and often synthesized from petroleum, alternatives like bioplastics are also being considered.

7. Thermoplastic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoplastic

   Flexible PVC is also used in inflatable products, such as water beds and pool toys. PVC is also a common material in vinyl action figures, especially in countries such as Japan, where the material is used extensively in so-called Sofubi figures (Soft vinyl toys [7]). As PVC bends easily and has a tendency to be bent during transit, a method to ...
