    PVC is produced by polymerizing vinyl chloride monomer. It is a white, brittle solid that is widely used in construction due to its durability, low cost and workability. PVC becomes softer and more flexible with the addition of plasticizers like phthalates. Common uses of PVC include pipes, window and door frames, cabling, and other applications where its chemical resistance and low cost are advantageous.

    POLYVINYL

    CHLORIDE
    (pvc)
    PVC
     PVC is obtained by heating a water-emulsion
    of vinyl chloride in the presence of small
    amount of benzyl peroxide or hydrogen
    peroxide.
     It is the third-most widely-produced plastic,
    after polyethylene and polypropylene. PVC is
    widely used in construction because it is
    durable, cheap, and easily worked.
     It can be made softer and more flexible by
    the addition of plasticizers, the most widely
    used being phthalates.
     Pure polyvinyl chloride without any
    plasticizer is a white, brittle solid. It is
    insoluble in alcohol, but slightly soluble in
    tetrahydrofuran.
     STRUCTURE:
     Vinyl chloride is generally prepared by
    treating acetylene at 1 to 1.5 atmospheres
    with hydrogen chloride at 60-80ᵒc in
    presence of metal chloride as a catalyst.
     CH=CH+Hcl CH2 =CHCL
     (Acetylene) (vinyl chloride)
     Polyvinyl chloride is produced by
    polymerization of the monomer
    vinyl chloride (VCM).
    PROPERTIES OF PVC.
     PVC is colourless,odourless,non-inflammable
    and chemically inert powder,resistant to
    light,atmospheric oxygen,inorganic acids and
    alkalis but soluble in hot chlorinated
    hydrocarbons such as ethyl chloride.
     Pure resin possesses a high softening point
    and a greater stiffness and rigidity when
    compared yto polyethylene,but it is brittle.
     Pvc is most widely used synthetic plastic.
    USES
     PVC's relatively low cost, biological and chemical
    resistance and workability have resulted in it being
    used for a wide variety of applications.
     It is used for sewerage pipes and other pipe
    applications where cost or vulnerability to corrosion
    limit the use of metal.
     With the addition of impact modifiers and
    stabilizers, it has become a popular material for
    window and door frames.
     By adding plasticizers, it can become flexible
    enough to be used in cabling applications as a wire
    insulator. It has been used in
    many other applications.

    ACRYLONITRILE

    (ABS)
    ABS….
     Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) (
    chemical formula (C8H8)x· (C4H6)y·(C3H3N)z) is a
    common thermoplastic. Its glass transition
    temperature .
     ABS is amorphous and therefore has no true melting
    point is approximately 105 °C (221 °F)
     It is a copolymer made by polymerizing styrene and
    acrylonitrile in the presence of polybutadiene.
     The proportions can vary from 15 to 35% acrylonitrile,
    5 to 30% butadiene and 40 to 60% styrene.
     The result is a long chain of polybutadiene criss-
    crossed with shorter chains of poly(styrene-co-
    acrylonitrile).
    CONTD…
     ABS poymers are made by copolymerizing
    acryolonitrile,butadiene and styrene.

     PROPERTIES:
     They are structural plastics or rubbing
    possessing good strength and toughness.
    USES OF ABS…
     ABS is also commonly used in rapid
    prototyping extrusion-based 3D printers. Its
    glass transition temperature makes it a
    material of choice for rapid prototyping —
    relatively high as to reduce unwanted
    deformation at slightly elevated
    temperatures but low enough to be safely
    attainable with standard extrusion setups.
    ABS…
    USES…
     ABS is also widely used in
     Telephones
     Pipes
     Moulded articles such as furnitures,suit-cases
    etc
     And also in packing containers.
