PVC is poisonous. PVC is the abbreviation of polyvinyl chloride. Polyvinyl chloride is also a frequently used plastic. It is a resin composed of polyvinyl chloride resin, plasticizer and antioxidant. It is not toxic in itself, but the main auxiliary materials such as plasticizer and antioxidant are toxic.
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a polymer polymerized by vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) in peroxide, azo compound and other initiators or according to the free radical polymerization mechanism under the action of light and heat. Vinyl chloride homopolymer and vinyl chloride copolymer are collectively referred to as vinyl chloride resin.
PVC material is a kind of plastic product. According to different needs, PVC is used to make different products. However, plasticizer needs to be added in the process of PVC products to make the material soft and conducive to production; Plasticizer is a toxic carcinogen, so the hose produced by plasticizer for a long time will pollute the products and endanger human health.
Plasticizers in PVC plastics for daily use mainly use dibutyl terephthalate, dioctyl phthalate, etc. these chemicals are toxic, and lead stearate, an antioxidant of PVC, is also toxic. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) products containing lead salt antioxidant will precipitate lead in contact with ethanol, ether and other solvents.
