PVC or iron?

Why should we choose PVC pipes over iron

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) is one of the most widely used polymers in the world. It is an odorless, brittle thermoplastic, which is lightweight and easy to handle. PVC takes less non-renewable fossil fuel to make than any other commodity plastic, compared to plastics such as PE, PP, PET and PS, which are totally dependent on oil or gas, thereby favoring the production of PVC pipes.

PVC is manufactured from two starting materials:

43% carbon (derived predominantly from oil / gas via ethylene);

57% molecular weight derived from common salt.

Due to its versatile nature, cost-effectiveness and an excellent record of use, PVC becomes essential to improve the quality and safety of construction materials, as well as helping the sustainability of completed projects such as modern architecture. It is widely used across a range of industrial, medical and architectural applications including PVC pipes, window frames and medical bags. PVC is replacing traditional building materials such as clay, woods and metals in many applications and it is also used extensively in refurbishment.
