Reasons to Choose UPVC Pipes and Fittings

Among the many different thermoplastics which are in widespread use nowadays, unplasticized polyvinyl chloride or uPVC is one of the commonly used materials. Essentially, uPVC pipes are a modification of the PVC pipes which are also a type of plastic pipes and as the name suggests, they are made without additional plasticizing compounds. uPVC pipes are used in a wide range of environments for different applications in domestic, commercial, industrial and even agricultural establishments. If you are considering selecting plastic pipes for any application, then here are some reasons why you should consider uPVC pipes and fittings: 

1. The smooth inner surface of uPVC pipes means that they do not impede the pressure at which liquids flow through them. Consequently, they are excellent for transporting water and other fluids at high pressures without the risk of contamination.

2. The omission of additional plasticizing polymers imparts greater strength and rigidity to uPVC pipes, giving them greater consistency. This makes them a highly durable choice for plumping pipelines. 

3. The virgin material from which uPVC pipes and fittings are manufactured also enhance their resistance to chemicals, including acids and bases. This in turn makes the pipes and fittings made from uPVC resistant to damage from chemical corrosion, enhancing their appeal for transport of chemicals and even sewage and potable water.

4. Since uPVC fittings and pipes are manufactured by omitting the addition of extra plasticizing polymers, and only virgin eco-friendly plasticized polymer compounds are used in their manufacture, they are a sustainable choice for plumbing applications.

5. UPVC pipes are extremely lightweight, yet they are durable and long lasting, resilient against damage, which gives them long service life. The lightweight nature of uPVC pipes and fittings also ensures that they are easy to transport and install. This not only makes them cost-effective but also energy efficient.

6. UPVC sanitary pipe systems are also resistant to external weather conditions and thus, they can be used for transport of liquids even at high altitudes where metal pipes may freeze the liquid and affect supply.

7. UPVC pipes and fittings also show high resistance to ultraviolet radiations, which implies that they can be installed in outdoor conditions without losing their mechanical properties. 

For the highest quality pipes and fittings for domestic, industrial and agricultural purposes, choose uPVC pipes and fittings from Wavin, one of the leading global manufacturers of high quality and sustainable water supply and management systems.
