Vinyl, sometimes referred to as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), is a material that can oxidize over time when exposed to various environmental elements like heat, light, and oxygen. When vinyl is subjected to these conditions, the chemical bonds in the substance may disintegrate and produce free radicals, which are extremely reactive species that can start an oxidation chain reaction.

These free radicals interact with the oxygen in the air to create peroxides, which can further damage the vinyl polymer chains. The vinyl material may become stained, brittle, and split as a result.

By producing additional free radicals, exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation can further hasten the oxidation process. This is why vinyl materials are more likely to age and disintegrate over time when exposed to sunshine or other UV radiation sources.
