Methodology

Plastic (PVC) density and calculation basis

Evidence status: needs-review.

PVC density depends on formulation and additives.

composition: PVC resin families and application-specific grades

Source basis: INEOS, PVC product families and grades. About: product types and grades. https://www.ineos.com/industry/products/polymers/pvc/ Applicability: context-only.

Obtain density evidence for an identified rigid PVC formulation.

For this direction, mass is calculated as volume multiplied by density after normalizing the units to cubic meters and kilograms. The resulting page multiplier is 3.042379 lb per L.

Use a measured density for a specific batch, grade or supplier; the table value is a reference, not a product specification.
