To choose the right type of pipe for your project, you must have wondered about the types of plastic pipes available on the market, such as uPVC pipes. What is uPVC pipe? What are the characteristics of the pipe and how to install and choose it to suit your project?
In the article below, Long Thanh Vien Thong Plastic will answer all your questions about the type of uPVC pipe so that you can easily orient the installation for your project.
1. What is uPVC pipe?
uPVC pipe is an abbreviation for “unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride”. This is also a type of PVC pipe, but uPVC is a type of hard PVC pipe and is widely used in the market because it has superior features to previous generations of PVC pipes. The basic components that make up uPVC pipes include PVC powder as the main raw material, as well as necessary additives, UV protection agents, pigments, heat stabilizers, lubricants, etc.
2. Differences between uPVC and PVC pipes
PVC pipes contain phthalates and BPA, so the pipes are soft and have lower production costs. However, these components in PVC pipes are toxic to human health after a long time of use. Because of this feature, PVC pipes are less used today and are replaced by uPVC pipes.
uPVC plastic pipes have the advantage of not containing phthalates and BPA plasticizers during the production process, but because they do not contain plasticizers, uPVC pipes are rigid and cannot be bent. However, the pipes are durable, fire-resistant, recyclable, non-toxic and environmentally friendly. Thanks to that, uPVC plastic pipes are increasingly trusted and replaced with PVC to ensure the health of users and the environment.
3. In which cases is uPVC plastic often used?
PVC plastic pipes are often used in:
