PAGE Polyvinyl chloride Polyvinyl chloride?( \o Help:IPA for English /?pɑ?liva?n?l??kl??ra?d/), [5]?more correctly but unusually poly(vinyl chloride), commonly abbreviated?PVC, is the worlds third-most widely produced synthetic? \o Plastic plastic? \o Polymer polymer, after? \o Polyethylene polyethylene?and \o Polypropylene polypropylene. [6] PVC comes in two basic forms: rigid (sometimes abbreviated as RPVC) and flexible. The rigid form of PVC is used in \o Construction construction?for pipe and in profile applications such as doors and windows. It is also used for bottles, other non-food packaging, and cards (such as bank or membership cards). It can be made softer and more flexible by the addition of \o Plasticizer plasticizers, the most widely used being? \o Phthalates phthalates. In this form, it is also used in plumbing, electrical cable insulation, imitation leather, signage, inflatable products, and many applications where it replaces rubber. [7] Pure poly(vinyl chloride) is a white, brittle solid. It is insoluble in alcohol but slightly soluble in? \o Tetrahydrofuran tetrahydrofuran. Discovery[ \o Edit section: Discovery edit] PVC was accidentally synthesized in 1872 by German chemist? \o Eugen Baumann Eugen Baumann. [8]?The polymer appeared as a white solid inside a flask of? \o Vinyl chloride vinyl chloride?that had been left exposed to sunlight. In the early 20th century the Russian chemist \o Ivan Ostromislensky Ivan Ostromislensky?and? \o Fritz Klatte Fritz Klatte?of the German chemical company Griesheim-Elektron both attempted to use PVC in commercial products, but difficulties in processing the rigid, sometimes brittle polymer thwarted their efforts.? \o Waldo Semon Waldo Semon?and the? \o Goodrich Corporation B.F. Goodrich Company?developed a method in 1926 to? \o Plasticity (physics) plasticize?PVC by blending it with various additives. The result was a more flexible and more easily processed material that soon achieved wid
