Fire Properties of Polyvinyl Chloride Dr. Marcelo Hirschler, GBI International, Consultant of The Vinyl Institute | 2017 Fire Properties of Polyvinyl Chloride | 2 Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC, or Vinyl ) possesses excellent fire performance Properties . All organic polymers (whether they are plastics or natural materials like wood, cotton or rubber) are combustible: when sufficient heat is supplied to any organic polymer, it will thermally decompose, and its thermal decomposition products will burn. However, PVC will typically not burn once the source of heat or flame is removed. This results from PVC having chlorine in its base polymer weight and it is well known that chlorine is one of the few elements that confers good fire Properties to a polymer1,2.
