Chemical PropertiesVinyl chloride is a flammable gas at room temperature, and is usually encountered as a cooled liquid. The colorless liquid forms a vapor which has a pleasant, ethereal odor. The odor threshold is variously given as 260 ppm, 3,000 ppm (NJ fact sheet), 4000 ppm (NY fact...
Both cast and calendared vinyl share polyvinylchloride (PVC) polymer as their primary ingredient. PVC is just a basic plastic, and is, by its nature pretty rigid. The next step in the process is the addition of plasticizers which make the film flexible, dyes and pigments to make the ...
One of our most known services is vinyl decking, a waterproofing poly-vinyl chloride (PVC) sheet flooring system. Our vinyl decking service is perfect for those who want to restore and recreate their outdoor decks, patios, balconies, and rooftops. Vinyl sheeting as a roofing solution allows fo...
The term ‘vinyl resin’ commonly refers to polymers and copolymers of vinyl chloride, though the term has more general meaning. Vinyl chloride is a cheap monomer whose polymers possess good colour, flexibility, and chemical resistance. Vinyl chloride is, however, gaseous and a recognized carcinogen...
With the thin flooring, delamination isn't a concern because it's a single cohesive layer of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Thicker, more expensive plank vinyl flooring's soft underlayment is the weak link in its layering system and has the potential to delaminate. Margot Cavin / The Spruce ...
A production process for a vinyl chloride polymer is proposed in which either vinyl chloride, or a monomer mixture comprising vinyl chloride, is polymerized in an aqueous medium ins
A process and a composition for preparing chlorinated poly(vinyl chloride) alloys containing aromatic polycarbonates, ethylene-based functional polymers, and impact modifiers is described. The alloys have good thermo-mechanical properties such as good dimensional stability under heat, good impact resistance...
It is primarily a mix of colored chips of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin. Other chemicals may be added to the mix to give it more durability or flexibility. These chips are bonded together with heat and pressure, creating flat sheets. The topmost layer is typically clear. Sandwiched between ...
It has been found that thermoplastic materials, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), are rugged materials which, functionally speaking, are excellent for making protective wall rails. Where aesthetic quality is also important, it is desirable to enhance in some manner the aesthetic quality of protective...
In fact, some floors contain as much as 55 percent vinyl (polyvinyl chloride or PVC) while others may contain as little as 11 percent vinyl, yet each of these floors is referred to as "vinyl flooring." (In addition to vinyl resin, vinyl floors typically contain fillers, plasticizers, ...
