PVC for air lines

["Landaiche Kenneth (NET-BBS/Petaluma)" <ken.landaiche@nokia.com>]

At lunch today a friend of mine reported setting up an air line using
Schedule 40 PVC and seeing just as he finished that it was not
recommended for air lines. Why is that? 

I assume it is because the PVC can shatter and shrapnel around. But he
thought that the 480 PSI rating of the tube was well over rated for the
100 PSI he was planning to run. Any comments or experiences?
