Other Characteristics of PVC:

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) has excellent transparency, chemical resistance, long-term stability, and good stable electrical properties. Traditionally a rigid material, but with the addition of phthalate esters as plasticizers, PVC becomes a soft and pliable material excellent for tubing. Though it may be attacked by many organic solvents, it stands up against oils and has a low permeability to gases. In its rigid form, PVC is found in sheets for use in items such as trays.

PVC for Laboratories:

PVC is a good option for packaging because it is available in a great range of sizes, shape, and color. Although PVC is typically transparent it can be dyed almost any color. PVC is also a good choice for packaging based on its high resistance to diluted acids and alkalis. PVC can be sterilized by gas and chemical disinfectant.

Other uses of PVC:

Flexible PVC is used for such items as wire, cable sheathing insulation, film, floor covering, synthetic leathers, and medical tubing.
