Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride, or UPVC, is a low-maintenance building material commonly used as a substitute for painted wood in window frames and sills when installing double glazing in new structures or replacing older single-glazed windows. Other applications include fascia, siding, and weatherboarding. Waste pipes, drain pipes, guttering, and downpipes are all made of the same material, nearly replacing cast iron in plumbing and drainage. In the home improvement market, these products are commonly referred to as "Roofline."Pipes and fittings made of unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (uPVC), often known as rigid PVC, are utilized for all plumbing needs in residential and commercial structures—ideal for looping at each other floor level, outdoor installations, and disguised cold water distribution tubes. Chemicals, sunshine, and water oxidation are all recognized as major enemies of uPVC. UPVC pipes and fittings are commonly used in construction because it is long-lasting, inexpensive, and simple to deal with.
Characteristics
- Made from virgin uPVC compounds that are safe for the environment.
- Lightweight, sturdy, resilient, long-lasting, low-maintenance, corrosion-resistant, and mineral-resistant
- Material that is devoid of lead and does not harm human health when it comes to water quality
- It will not rust.
- Even with hard water, it does not promote scaling.
- Extremely strong
- UV protection in all weather conditions
- It doesn't allow for combustion
- Impact resistance is good.
- Installation is quick and simple.
- Jointing that is consistent and dependable
- Quality control is quite strict.
- With a relatively low lifetime ownership cost, this product is incredibly cost-effective.
Benefits
- Joints that don't leak
- Carrying potable water is hygienic.
- uPVC pipes have a low flow head loss due to their mirror-smooth inside surface.
- Even after several years of use, there is no silt accumulation and thus no diminution in the cross-sectional area.
- UV radiation should be avoided at all costs.
- Full range of fittings available for all applications
- It is self-extinguishing.
- Material, transportation, and installation costs are all kept to a minimum.
- Pipes made of uPVC are lightweight. Steel pipes have a specific weight of 1.43, which is one-fifth that of plastic pipes. This lowers shipping costs and makes installation easier in difficult or isolated locations.
Application
- Both main and supply lines for drinking water pipe distribution systems.
- Drainage and sewerage systems. The substance utilized is completely resistant to metallic corrosion due to its non-metallic character.
- Because they are constructed of a tasteless and odourless polymer, uPVC pipes are tasteless and odourless to the fluids they transport.
- There is also no internal deposit buildup, which significantly benefits designing sewerage systems.
- Because uPVC is not combustible and flames cannot flow through it in the event of a fire, it provides enhanced safety when used for household and industrial electrical installations.
