About uPVC
Unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (uPVC) pipes are made from a combination of plastic and vinyl. These pipes are durable, hard to damage and long lasting. They do not rust, rot, or wear over a long period of time. Therefore, uPVC pipes are most commonly used for cold water applications in plumbing, water supply, underground drainage and sewage lines.
Due to the ability of uPVC pipe to withstand extreme movement and bending, it is also increasingly used in earthquake prone areas. It can withstand rigorous Shaking of earth without experiencing any damage.
The smooth surface of the pipe is also resistant to bacterial contamination such as E. coli. therefore, many water companies rely on uPVC pipes in their systems in order to keep them free of contamination.
