Vinyl polymers

Vinyl polymers are a class of plastics made from repeating units derived from vinyl compounds, such as vinyl chloride or vinyl acetate. These polymers are formed through a chemical process called polymerization, linking many small molecules into long chains. Vinyl polymers are versatile, lightweight, and durable, making them useful in products like pipes, flooring, packaging, and clothing. Their properties can be modified by adding other materials or through different processing methods, allowing for a wide range of applications. Essentially, vinyl polymers are synthetic materials based on vinyl building blocks, providing a combination of strength, flexibility, and chemical resistance.
