Commentary
It is produced by polymerizing vinyl chloride (chloroethylene). It is used in various applications by changing the degree of polymerization and adjusting flexibility through the addition of plasticizers.
It is widely used in construction materials because of its excellent physical properties such as flame resistance (self-extinguishing) and weather resistance.
Key points
- It has low thermal stability. When it decomposes, it produces hydrogen chloride gas, which is highly corrosive to metals, so it is molded in specialized equipment.
