1. Basic Info
Name: Polyvinyl chloride
Alias: PVC, Poly(1-chloroethene)
CAS No.: 9002-86-2
Molecular Formula: (C2H3Cl)n
Molecular Weight: Variable (Polymer, no fixed molecular weight, molecular weight range 40000–120000)
2. Physical & Chemical Properties
Physical Properties
- Appearance: White or light beige amorphous powder, no odor
- Solubility: Insoluble in water, alcohol, aliphatic hydrocarbons; soluble in tetrahydrofuran (THF), cyclohexanone, dichloromethane, dimethylformamide; swells in ketones, esters
- Density: 1.35–1.45 g/cm3
- Glass transition temperature Tg: 75–85 ℃
- Processing temperature range: 160–200 ℃
- Flame retardancy: Self-extinguishing, low flammability
- Hygroscopy: Non-hygroscopic, excellent water resistance
- Electrical performance: Good insulation, low dielectric loss
- Mechanical property: Rigid PVC hard and brittle; plasticized PVC flexible, good wear resistance
- Weather resistance: Unmodified PVC prone to yellowing under long-term UV radiation
Chemical Properties
- Molecular structure: Linear polymer formed by vinyl chloride monomer addition polymerization, contains a large number of polar C-Cl bonds
- Thermal decomposition characteristic: Starts to decompose above 140 ℃, releases hydrogen chloride gas, turns yellow and then black; must add heat stabilizer during processing
- Acid and alkali resistance: Excellent resistance to dilute acid, dilute alkali, salt solution; resistant to most inorganic corrosive media
- Organic solvent resistance: Resistant to oil, gasoline; long-term contact with strong polar solvents will swell or dissolve
- Plasticization performance: Can mix with plasticizers (DOP, DOTP) to produce soft flexible PVC products
- Crosslinking property: Can be crosslinked by radiation or chemical crosslinkers to improve heat resistance and mechanical strength
- Photochemical aging: C-Cl bond breaks under ultraviolet light, free radical chain reaction occurs, leading to discoloration and performance degradation
- Compatibility: Compatible with plasticizers, stabilizers, fillers, pigments; incompatible with strong polar solvents, concentrated strong oxidants
