Pure PVC is a white, brittle solid which is insoluble in alcohol but slightly soluble in tetrahydrofuran. PVC can be made softer and more flexible by the addition of plasticizers, the most widely used being phthalates. In this form it is used in clothing and upholstery, electrical cable insulation, inflatable products, and many applications in which it replaces rubber. Polyvinyl alcohol Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is a water-soluble synthetic polymer with excellent film- forming, emulsifying, and adhesive properties.
PAN fibers are the precursor in the production of high-quality carbon fibers. Polypropylene Polypropylene (PP) is a thermoplastic polymer used in a wide variety of applications, including textile fibers, packaging and labeling, plastic parts and reusable containers of various types, laboratory equipment, automotive components, etc. PP is normally tough and flexible, especially when copolymerized with ethylene. It has good resistance to fatigue, and is unusually resistant to many chemical solvents such as bases and acids.
