u-PVC Pipes
Unplasticised polyvinyl chloride (uPVC) is the most widely used of all plastics used for pipe installations. It is rigid, versatile and is suitable for both above or below ground installations. (uPVC) is suitable for use at temperatures from 0 0C to 60 0C at a wide range of operating pressures, depending upon the system chosen. It is lightweight and easy to install, using cold solvent welded joints with require no special tools. The characteristics of (uPVC) structural parts are strongly dependent on the makeup of the recipe, but also from the processing.
