Polyvinyl chloride or PVC is a type of thermoplastic widely used for making water pipes and sometimes flooring.
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a synthetic thermoplastic polymer that is highly versatile and is particularly favored for making water pipes due to its durability, resistance to corrosion, and affordability. In addition to plumbing applications, PVC is also used in flooring and electrical cable insulation, offering a lightweight and long-lasting material option.
An example of PVC is the piping used in residential plumbing systems, known for its durability and resistance to corrosion.
