In UPVC ‘U’ indicates Unplasticized, thus UPVC is Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride which means it is manufactured or prepared without using the plastic. In the manufacturing process of UPVC, several chemicals are added. UPVC’s manufacturing process begins with the raw materials that are mixed accurately to make a potent resin compound, and then pick out in molds at high temperatures, and cast into a die where the profiles are shaped before they are cooled, tested, packed, and distributed for fabrication. Thus the UPVC becomes a rigid and hard material and that is why UPVC pipes can withstand all kinds of external and internal exertion. It can be said that rigidity is in its gene. Unplasticized PVC is considered one of the stiffest polymers across PVC group. These pipes are being used widely in several sectors such as manufacturing, construction, transportation of fluids, and the plumbing industry. Well Casing and Screen Pipes made of UPVC are an ideal product for the protection of domestic, irrigation, industrial, and mining bore wells, keeping out the gravel pack and foreign particles and providing clean and clear water from the bore wells and tube-wells.
UPVC pipes are flexible and have exceptional bendability which makes them suitable for handling during construction.These pipes are rustproof and UV-resistant and due to their high flexibility quality they become durable and worthy. UPVC pipes are cost-effective, leak-proof, lightweight, and require no special maintenance. UPVC pipes also have superb electrical properties and low flammability. In addition to it, these pipes are recyclable, fire-resistance, and sturdy in nature. It is a well-proven and experienced fact that metal pipes react with several elements of nature thus making them unsuitable for plumbing works. Metal pipes are not rustproof and corrosion-resistant. The supplied water remains safe from impurities wherever a UPVC pipeline system is installed and applied. UPVC pipes are highly energy-efficient and possess flame-retardant properties that do not support combustion. Being antimicrobial, these pipes are also completely safe to carry drinking water.
UPVC pipes are absolutely eco-friendly and can function both in extreme cold and hot temperatures. These pipes are non-reactive and high temperatures resistant up to 60°C which makes them the best medium for supplying drinking and other types of water.
They are not only cost-effective but also last longer than any other pipeline materials. In addition to it, by using the UPVC pipes we may reduce transport and labor costs of installation. UPVC pipes are completely lead-free making them ideal for supplying potable water. UPVC pipes have anti-corrosion properties resisting chemicals to react with the material and that is why the water or gas remains unaffected inside the pipeline
UPVC pipes are used for several kinds of plumbing needs in water supply systems such as supplying potable water in bathrooms, kitchens, sinks, laboratories, etc. These pipes can also be used as ventilation pipes for disposing of corrosive gases from washrooms. UPVC is used for manufacturing electrical conduits in the electric industry, UPVC pipes are used to fulfill plumbing needs across water supply systems. Besides, these are used for Tubework casting and manufacturing raising mains for hand pumps as well. UPVC pipes are immensely used in the agricultural sector for irrigation purposes.
The pipeline transposing crude oil and other edible fluids is also made of UPVC as it prevents corrosion within the pipeline. For agricultural purposes, it has extensive use in irrigation applications. Thus, UPVC pipes are widely used across households and industrial sectors.
