PVC-UH pipes: Features and Applications

PVC-UH pipe features

As we have already said, these PVC-UH pipes offer a series of features that make them an attractive choice in many applications.

But which ones specifically?

• Their high density gives them significant resistance to atmospheric and chemical agents, making them exceptionally long-lasting.

• The low thermal conductivity of the PVC-UH makes them suitable for a huge range of temperatures.

• They are lighter than alternative materials such as metal. This characteristic is important because it makes transport and installation easier, reducing logistical costs and facilitating on-site management, making projects more efficient.

• Their chemical resistance makes them suitable for applications in which corrosion could be a problem. For this reason, they are often used in plumbing systems intended to carry corrosive fluids or in industrial settings.

Despite the many advantages of PVC-UH tubes, it is important to be aware of where they should correctly be used:

• PVC-UH pipes are excellent in settings where there is no risk of physical impact or high loads. If this is not the case, it may be necessary to take additional precautions to protect the pipes from impacts and avoid structural damage.

• PVC-UH pipes are suitable for environments with low temperatures—this is where they work best and find a home within the industry.

Five practical applications of PVC-UH pipes

PVC is one of the most widely used thermoplastic polymers and can be applied in various sectors, from construction to the medical field. A concrete example of practical production concerns pipe extrusion, intended for various types of uses, including:

1. Drinking water distribution: PVC-UH pipes are widely used in drinking water distribution systems thanks to their chemical resistance and compliance with health regulations.

2. Agricultural irrigation: the lightness and durability of PVC-UH pipes makes them ideal for agricultural irrigation systems, facilitating the implementation and management of fields.

3. Waste systems: in waste systems, resistance to corrosive agents and the easy installation of PVC-UH pipes are key advantages.

4. Food industry: compliance with health regulations and chemical resistance make PVC-UH pipes a safe choice for transporting liquids in the food industry.

5. Chemical product transport systems: the chemical resistance of PVC-UH pipes makes them suitable for transporting a huge range of chemical products efficiently.

6. Cable ducts: they are essential for the safety of electrical lines and telecommunications or data transmission cables, which, if made from compact PVC-UH, offer reliability and safety.

Significant environmental benefits

As well as technical features, PVC-UH pipes offer many environmental benefits. They can be recycled, meaning they contribute to the global challenge towards sustainability and the reduction in environmental impact. Also, producing PVC-UH requires fewer resources compared to competing materials, making them an eco-friendly choice in every respect.
