[PVC] has an extremely wide range af applications, from toys via (waste) water lines to bloodbags. [PVC] is a long organic chain molecule built by combining shorter chain molecules. Each chain has an alcohol group at one end (COOH) and an ammonia (NH2) group at the other. By dropping an H on the NH2 side of one molecule and the OH on the COOH side, you get an even longer chain molecule and a water molecule (H20). This type of link is called a ''peptide bond''

-PVC is basically a long chain of organic molecules. (Organic simply means carbon -based). The molecules have an alcohol group at one end (COOH ) and an ammonia (NH2) group at the other:  
- H - N (rest of molecule ) - C = O

- H OH  
-  
-They join together; the N drops an H and the C drops the OH. These form a water molecule (H20). This type of link is called a ''peptide bond''.
