∙ 15y agoPVC is the most widely used polymer for cables production in Europe. It is mainly dominant in the low voltage and some specialist applications. Telecommunication is also an important application for PVC. PVC cables have a number of benefits, such as: * Good electrical and insulation properties over a wide temperature range * Inherent fire safety * Excellent durability and long-life expectancy * Easy processing characteristics to achieve desired specification for end-products * Cost-effectiveness * Recyclability - no cross-linking therefore the ability to be reprocessed back into cable applications, see further down * Compares favourably to alternative materials using LCA methodologies primarily due to lower usage of non-renewable resources i.e. 43% derived from oil/gas and 57% derived from salt * Highly resistant to degradation by ultra violet light * Cheap

Is plastic bottle mixture or pure substance?
Plastics that are encountered are generally mixtures. Some are mixtures of polymeric chains of differing lengths such as polyethylene. Some are mixtures that contain not only polymeric chains but have extra ingredients, fillers, plasticisers and coloring agents that modify the properties of the plastic. One example is PVC polyvinyl chloride which is a brittle substance but with the addition of plasticisers (phthalates), becomes flexible.
What would be the cause of a chemical smell in a new ac system?
Could be one of the many chemicals involved in its installation. Spray adhesive, PVC primer or glue, duct sealant. If this is a new system retrofitted in place of an older one, the smell is likely duct mastic applied to the inside of the plenums to seal them. The smell will fade in time. It's not hazardous at all. If it's a totally new house, with all new equipment and flex duct, the new flex duct will have a plastic-ey smell for a while, after all, its made out of plastic.
