Description
A manufactured fiber in which the fiber-forming substance is any long chain synthetic polymer composed of at least 85% by weight of vinyl chloride units (Federal Trade Commission definition). PVC fibers are generically known as vinyon fibers or chlorofibers. Pure PVC fibers are used to make elastomeric fabrics. They are also used in outdoor fabrics, such as tarps, awnings, rain gear and fishing nets.
See Vinyon fiber.
