In general, combustibility of polymers depends on their chemical structures. Polymers with more carbon atoms in their macromolecular structure (e.g., PE, PP, PS, PMMA) are more combustible than polymers containing halogen atoms (e.g., PVC, PVDC, PTFE).
PVC is not suitable for injection moulding of large sized products, since its melt viscosity is comparatively high. On the other hand, the viscoelastic behaviour of molten PVC is less dependent on temperature and is stable.
