Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) [(C2H3Cl)n] White powder.
Like parlon and saran, PVC is a polymeric chlorine donor and
fuel. It can be used in the form of a fine powder or as a solution in
tetrahydrofuran (THF). It is sometimes used as a binder, but it is very brittle.
Small amounts of plasticiser (dioctyl phtalate is common) may be added to
improve the mechanical properties.
PVC is a commonly used chlorine donor. It is not as good as
Parlon for this purpose, but is cheaper and more readily available. PVC is
soluble in Soluble in MEK, Methylene chloride, cyclohexane or tetrahydrofuran
(THF) but almost all other solvents are useless. Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) will
plasticise PVC to some extent, however. A chlorine donor sometimes used in green
star formulations
PVC itself is not particularly dangerous or toxic. Dioctyl phtalate is a
suspected carcinogen however and THF is a very flamable and volatile liquid.
Solvent is methylene chloride.
