PVC pipe

2023-09-15

PVC is the abbreviation of (Polyvinylchlorid). Its main component is polyvinyl chloride, and other ingredients are added to enhance its heat resistance, toughness and ductility. The top layer of this surface film is paint, the main component in the middle is polyvinyl chloride, and the bottom layer is back-coated adhesive.
It is a synthetic material that is loved, popular and widely used in the world today. Its global usage ranks second among various synthetic materials. According to statistics, in 1995 alone, the production volume of PVC in Europe was about 5 million tons, while its consumption was 5.3 million tons. In Germany, the production and consumption of PVC averages 1.4 million tons.


PVC pipes (divided into PVC-U pipes, PVC-M pipes and PVC-O pipes) Rigid polyvinyl chloride pipes are made of polyvinyl chloride resin combined with stabilizers, lubricants, etc. and then heated Press extrusion molding is the earliest plastic pipe to be developed and applied.
PVC-U pipe has strong corrosion resistance, easy bonding, low price, and hard texture. However, due to the leakage of PVC-U monomer and additives, it is only suitable for water supply systems with a delivery temperature not exceeding 45°C. Plastic pipes are used in applications such as drainage, wastewater, chemicals, heating and cooling fluids, food, ultrapure liquids, slurries, gases, compressed air and vacuum systems.
PVC-O pipe, Chinese name is biaxially oriented polyvinyl chloride, is the latest evolutionary form of PVC pipe. The pipe is manufactured through a special orientation processing process. The PVC-U pipe produced by the extrusion method is axially oriented. Stretching and radial stretching make the PVC long-chain molecules in the pipe regularly arranged in the biaxial direction to obtain a new type of PVC pipe with high strength, high toughness, high impact resistance and fatigue resistance.
