![]() ![]() ![]() PVC is an amorphous polymer in which the molecules are arranged randomly. Finally, it’s a food grade, green product. The manufacturing of PVC-O pipes is the most ecofriendly amongst all the high pressure pipe manufacturers. No heavy machineries or welding is required. The PVC-O pipes are easy in handling and laying compared to DI pipes and HDPE pipes. The latest technology PVC-O pipes have considerable advantages over the conventional pipes such as Ductile Iron pipe and HDPE pipes. PVC-O pipes are the best choice for high pressure pipe (piping) to be used for water conveyance. As it is a physical process, there is no change chemically, so, there is no significant change to the PVC formulation. Although these molecular changes are not visible at macroscopic scale, it is fully appreciable with an electronic microscope. This reorganization or alignment is done through an elongation of the plastic in special conditions that allow the molecules to rotate following the direction of the deformation. Molecularly Oriented PVC is the result of reorganizing the amorphous structure of PVC-U into a layered structured, by a mechanical process, to provide unbeatable mechanical properties in a plastic pipe, such as: high impact resistance (almost unbreakable), high stiffness and fatigue resistance, excellent behaviour with external loads, elimination of crack propagation and maximum ductility. PVC-O, is axially stretched and radially stretched PVC pipe, so that the long-chain PVC molecules in the pipe are arranged in a biaxial direction to obtain a new PVC pipe with high strength, high toughness, high impact resistance and fatigue resistance. ![]()
