What is a Flexible PVC pipe?
Flexible PVC pipe is basically a soft, flexible material pipe that actually comes in appearances from transparent to opaque. Now it comes in various varieties and actually by adjusting the type and amount of plasticizers, plastic molders can achieve a large range of flexible compositions.
PVC simply means “Polyvinyl chloride” and it is manufactured with plasticizers, which apply some rubbery kind of properties on the final end product
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) is one of the most commonly used thermoplastic polymers worldwide. It is naturally white and very brittle before the use of plasticizers.
Base Form and Function of different forms: PVC
Basically, there are 2 main forms of PVC
- Rigid PVC (RPVC)
- unplasticized PVC (uPVC)
Here as the name suggests Rigid PVC is the rigid one and unplasticized is the flexible one. Now both have multiple kinds of applications. Flexible, plasticized, or regular PVC is softer and more amenable to bending than uPVC due to the addition of plasticizers like phthalates.
Applications of Flexible PVC Pipes
There are multiple applications of Flexible PVC Pipes:
Flexible PVC is commonly used in construction as insulators for wires or in flooring for our homes like it is used in a bathroom sink for the flow of the “used water” into the wastewater main line. You must see that pipe in your home or office just down your sink. Just like that it is used in the flooring of homes, offices, schools, hospitals,s and other constructional sites.
On the other hand, RPVC also has a fair share of use in the same industry. These are Rigid pipes used in the main water line for the disposal of all kinds of water outside. Like the sink water will go to the final main waterline from a flexible pipe towards a main pipe and that main pipe is made of Rigid PVC.
