PVC Properties of Special Significance in Some Important Usage Contexts

  • Chapter
Book cover PVC Plastics

Abstract

The properties briefly reviewed in this chapter are the principal mechanical properties, resistance to environmental stress cracking and crazing, some electrical properties, properties of special interest for outdoor service, properties relevant to barrier applications, some health-hazard aspects of PVC, and those aspects of flammability and smoke emission which are not dealt with in Chapter 9.
