Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), e masani ona taʻua o le PVC, o se polymer tele faʻaaogaina i le tele o pisinisi eseese. E gaosia e ala i le polymerizing vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) e ala i le free-radical polymerization mechanism ma le fesoasoani a peroxides, azo compounds poʻo isi mea e amataina, faʻapea foʻi ma le malamalama ma le vevela. O le PVC e aofia ai vinyl chloride homopolymers ma vinyl chloride copolymers, faʻatasi e taʻua o vinyl chloride resins. Faatasi ai ma ona uiga mataʻina ma fetuutuunai, ua avea PVC ma mea e filifilia mo le tele o talosaga.
