Known for their versatility and lightweight nature, our PVC pipes are ideal for both residential and commercial plumbing systems.

PVC is one of the specified thermoplastic for piping system components, including valves, fittings, flanges and many speciality products. PVC has excellent chemical and corrosion resistance to a broad range of fluids.

WHATMAKES PVC IMPORTANT?
PVC makes a major contribution to the quality, safety and cost-effectiveness of construction materials, as well as helping to reduce the environmental impact of completed projects. PVC is the most widely used polymer in building and construction applications and over 50 percent of Western Europe’s annual PVC production is used in this sector. PVC has a versatility that helps to meet modern and future design needs.

Material:
Made from polyvinyl chloride, a versatile and lightweight thermoplastic.

Properties:

• Corrosion-resistant, making them ideal for transporting potable water and drainage systems.
• High tensile strength and durability.
• Easy to install, maintain, and repair.
• Affordable and cost-effective for large-scale installations.

Applications:

• Plumbing systems for residential and commercial use.
• Drainage, irrigation, and sewage systems.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN uPVC & PVC

There has been a lot of confusion in the thermoplastics industry regarding the use of the terms uPVC and PVC when specifying thermoplastic piping products. For many years, certain regions of the world have preferred using the term uPVC when specifying unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride piping products while other regions of the world, The United State of America for instance, prefer the acronym PVC (less the U) when specifying the same unplasticized PVC piping products. So uPVC and PVC both indicate same material – unplasticized or Rigid PVC.

The most important aspect of specifying PVC piping products is not the abbreviation but the cell classification of the thermoplastic material. For rigid, unplasticized Type I Grade I PVC material with a hydrostatic design stress of 2000 psi the cell classification is 12454. These numbers indicate the minimum physical properties that a rigid, unplasticized thermoplastic compound must meet as per ASTM D1784 to be used in the manufacturing of pressure piping components. In summary, whether a thermoplastic vinyl piping, product is specified as uPVC is not important, it is the cell classification, and materials’ physical properties that is most important.
