But wouldn't you want to know if this material is as good as everyone says? With this guide, learn everything important there is to know before you shop:
What is PVC?
PVC or Polyvinyl Chlorideis is a synthetic plastic polymer known for its versatility and is used in a variety of applications. PVC can be made softer and more flexible by the addition of plasticizers, and it can also be combined with other materials to enhance its properties.
Which Type of PVC is the Most Used?
uPVC
Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride is a type of PVC that is extremely durable and does not contain plasticizers. This rigidity provides uPVC with strength and stability, making it an excellent material for residential, construction and building applications.
cPVC
Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride is a form of PVC that has been chlorinated using a free-radical chlorination reaction, increasing its chlorine content. This modification improves CPVC's temperature and chemical resistance, making it appropriate for hot water and industrial liquid handling.
Features of Using PVC Materials
Versatility:
PVC can be used to manufacture a wide range of products, like pipes, water tanks, junction boxes, etc. As a result, they can be used for a variety of applications, including residential, industrial, construction, and more.
No Biofilm Formation:
The feature of no biofilm formation in uPVC pipe fittings prevents microbes and bacteria from sticking to them. They inhibit the growth of bacteria that could lead to infections. This, especially in products for water-based applications, ensures that the water supplied in your space is of the best quality.
Durability:
PVC is known for its durability and products made from it can last for decades due to its features like resistance to environmental factors, corrosion resistance, high impact strength, etc.
Lightweight:
This makes it easier to transport the products made of PVC and helps to cut down on the costs of labour and installation time.
Insulation Properties:
PVC is an effective heat and electricity insulator, making it ideal for electrical and thermal insulation applications.
Chemical Resistance:
They have exceptional resistance to a wide range of chemicals, making them suitable for industrial applications as it ensures that they remain functioning at their best even when exposed to severe chemicals.
Fire Resistance:
These materials inherently have flame-retardant properties, making them suitable for use in buildings and other applications that require fire resistance. This characteristic, particularly in conduit pipes, guarantees that the electrical wiring in your space is safe and emits minimal smoke.
Smooth Inner Surface:
PVC products are manufactured using high-quality, non-toxic elements resulting in a smooth inner surface. This smooth inner surface guarantees that liquid or wiring flows without friction through the object, lowering the chance of damage.
Benefits of Using PVC Materials
Cost-Effectiveness
PVC is an extremely durable material due to its features, which make it very cost-effective in the long term. This is because of the minimal maintenance and replacement requirements it has compared to traditional materials, which can easily corrode or break.
Enhanced Safety
Be it electrical safety or water supply, safety is of utmost importance. PVC has certain features, like fire and chemical resistance. UV resistance, high impact strength, etc., which make it a reliable solution for ensuring the best safety of your space.
Environmental Sustainability
As all consumers and brands are taking a conscious step towards a sustainable future, products made using PVC material are the best available alternative to traditional materials. PVC is an eco-friendly material that can be recycled multiple times without losing its properties and due to its features, it also suits a range of applications.
Ease of Installation
Being light in weight, these PVC products are very easy to install without the help of an extensive labour force, making them the go-to material choice for your DIY projects. PVC products can be easily cut and joined, thus reducing the installation time and labour costs.
Versatility in Design
Since PVC is light in weight and very flexible, it can be easily moulded into a range of shapes. according to the client's specific requirements. This also allows for the creation of a range of creative, functional and aesthetically pleasing designs.
Energy Efficiency
Because of its high insulating abilities, PVC helps maintain stable indoor temperatures, lowering energy usage for heating and cooling. This leads to reduced energy expenses and a smaller environmental footprint.
