First let's take a general look at the materials: PVC Polyvinyl chloride is the third-most widely produced plastic, after polyethylene and polypropylene. PVC is used in construction because it is cheaper than more durable longer lasting alternatives such as ductile iron. It can be made softer and more flexible by the addition of plasticizers, the most widely used being phthalates.
In this form, it is used in clothing and upholstery, electrical cable insulation, inflatable products and many applications in which it replaces rubber. PVC is a Thermoplastic en. ABS Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene It is a copolymer made by polymerizing styrene and acrylonitrile in the presence of polybutadiene.
The result is a long chain of polybutadiene criss-crossed with shorter chains of poly styrene-co-acrylonitrile. The nitrile groups from neighbouring chains, being polar, attract each other and bind the chains together, making ABS stronger than pure polystyrene. The styrene gives the plastic a shiny, impervious surface. The butadiene, a rubbery substance, provides resilience even at low temperatures.
ABS plastic is damaged by sunlight. This caused one of the most widespread and expensive automobile recalls in US history.
An industrially important example is vinyl chloride, precursor to PVC, a plastic commonly known as "vinyl". Resin or Synthetic resins are materials with a property of interest that is similar to natural plant resins: they are viscous liquids that are capable of hardening permanently. Otherwise, chemically they are very different from the various resinous compounds secreted by plants see resin for discussion of the natural products.
The synthetics are of several classes. Some are manufactured by esterification or soaping of organic compounds. Some are thermosetting plastics in which the term "resin" is loosely applied to the reactant or product, or both. For those thermosetting plastics which require only one monomer, the monomer compound is the "resin.
The mixture will then harden and no heat is applied during this process. Polystone is a compound made up largely of polyurethane resin mixed with powdered stone additives that give it added weight and the porcelain or "stone-like" feel that resulted in the materials name itself. Polystone is durable and highly effective at maintaining a sharp paint finish. Unlike porcelain which is fired in an oven, Polystone is a cold-cast material in which no heat is used in the manufacturing process, resulting in much greater variations of paint finish.
The Materials and the Figures PVC is used to manufacture figures primarily because it's very cheap when compared to other plastics and it's somewhat resistant. Because PVC is a thermoplastic, it's easy to work with it and it's recyclable. The PVC used to manufacture scale figures has low quantities of plasticisers so it won't be too rubbery and soft.
Good quality PVC is smooth to the touch and has a skin-like appearance which cannot be achieved by using other plastics such as ABS.
PVC is also very fragile and has low resistance against high temperatures and pressure. Those two factors can cause PVC to bend or deform in some other way. A good example of PVC use despite the figures is Nendoroid heads, gashapons, some prize and trading figures, the upper body of figures, etc. ABS is used primarily for the bases and legs of figures.
ABS is a very sturdy plastic and it won't bend, ABS is the kind of plastic that will break before bending. Because of its hight resistance, ABS is used when manufacturing weight bearing parts. No good company will make a figure entirely of PVC because as mentioned before, PVC can't handle the it's won't weight without deforming.
Some figures manufactured prior to were made entirely of PVC, which caused them to bend and lean. He makes it with hardening paste to later create a silicone mold and reproduce the figure in PVC.

PVC is an acronym for polyvinyl chloride. A resin is a material often used in the production of plastics and rubbers. PVC resin is a white powder commonly used to produce thermoplastics. Other members of the vinyl family can be used for similar applications, but PVC tends to be the most popular member of that family.
Higher the K value, higher is the porosity. What is PVC? Unfortunately, most PVC is not rated for use for drinking water, not due to a high risk of toxicity, but due to the fact that it can degrade with high temperatures, UV light exposure and extremely high pressures. Any degradation can damage the water supply and make it unsafe for drinking water.
