Polyvinyl chloride fibers are invented in Germany in 1931 and earliest fibers among synthetic fibers. Vinyl chloride is polymerized into polyvinyl chloride and is spun into polyvinyl chloride fibers.

Durable and resistant in weathering, non-attackable by acid and alkali and superior in warmth retention property. By rubbing, polyvinyl chloride fibers are charged with negative static electricity. Accordingly, it is said that the wearing of underwear of this fiber will be effective against rheumatism, and underwear of polyvinyl chloride fiber is available as a healthy underwear. However, this fiber is less resistant to heating. Filament fiber yarn starts to shrink from ca. 60 and stable fibers start to shrink from ca. 90~100. Thus polyvinyl chloride fibers are less used for clothing which needs ironing. Although fibers of high resistance to heating are manufactured, even these fibers start to shrink from ca 105~110℃

1. Extremely resistant to chemical agents and sun-light.
2. High thermal and electrical insulation.
3. Chargeable with negative static electricity.
4. Does not absorb water completely.
5. Highly bulky and superior in warmth reten-tion.
6. Flame retardant.
7. Most care should be taken for heat, because of low resistance to heating.
