Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Labware | Thermo Fisher Scientific - US
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Labware. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is similar in structure to polyethylene, but each unit contains a chlorine atom. The chlorine atom renders it vulnerable to some solvents, but also makes it more chemically resistant in many applications. PVC has extremely good resistance to oils (except essential oils) and very low
Plasticiser loss from plastic or rubber products through
Polymers experience degradation during storage and service. One of the main degradation mechanisms of plasticised-polymer products is the loss of plasticiser, which leads to poorer mechanical
PVC Remains Material of Choice for Life-Saving Medical
PVC is the most widely used plastic for medical devices, with a share of about 25%. The other main medical polymers are polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene, and ABS. Philipimage/Adobe Stock PVC began replacing glass, metal, ceramics, and rubber in medical devices during WWII.
Polyvinyl Chloride Resins (PVC) - The Chemical Company
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) is one of the most widely produced thermoplastic polymers in the world after polyethylene and polypropylene. Without the additions of plasticizers, PVC is a naturally white, brittle plastic. Its most common use is in the construction industry, but it is also used to manufacture signs, in healthcare applications, and as a fiber for clothing.
