PVC (polyvinyl chloride) which is found in plastic wrap, simulated leather, water pipes, and garden hoses, is formed from vinyl chloride (H2C=CHCl). The reaction is shown in the graphic on the left.

Notice how every other carbon must have a chlorine attached.

Polypropylene: The reaction to make polypropylene (H2C=CHCH3) is illustrated in the middle reaction of the graphic.

Notice that the polymer bonds are always through the carbons of the double bond. Carbon #3 already has saturated bonds and cannot participate in any new bonds. A methyl group is on every other carbon.

Polystyrene: The reaction is the same for polystrene where everyother carbon has a benzene ring attached.
