Hi,  Vinyl = Polyvinylchloride = PVC = very lossy
I'd expect the losses to be too high to use in a capacitor because the 
loss goes straight to heat, not a good idea. (burning PVC produces VERY 
toxic vapours)
It seems that PVC is OK for coils because there we're dealing primarily 
( Secondary - ly ?!) with magnetic not electric fields.
I've tried thin sheets of PVC as a rolled-up capacitor under oil, it 
worked for quite some time (many short sessions) but eventually failed 
with nice under-oil pyrotechnics, lots of nasty black smoke.
I'll never again use PVC for capacitors. bye ... Sulaiman
