| Polyvinyl Chloride Plastic Information |
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is thermoplastic. It may be made in a film, used for food wrap and microwaving, or molded in a rigid form in containers. It is used in dishwashers for lining the inside and coating the wire racks. It is not affected by most chemicals.
