Plastic pipe types and Selection Guide
Plastic pipes are generally made from synthetic resin, specifically polyester, with the addition of stabilizers, lubricants, and plasticizers, through extrusion processing in a pipe-making machine. Due to their lightweight, corrosion resistance, attractive appearance, lack of unpleasant odor, ease of processing, and convenient construction, they have gained increasingly widespread use in construction projects. They are mainly used for piping in residential water supply systems, drainage, ventilation, and sewage systems; underground drainage systems; rainwater pipes; and conduits for electrical wiring. Common types of plastic pipe include PVC pipes, PP pipes, PA pipes, and ABS pipes.
