The demand for plastic pipes in the water supply and drainage industry is increasing and becoming more diversified. The 3 most commonly used plastic pipes today include PVC pipes, HDPE pipes and PPR pipes. Made from different plastic materials, possessing different advantages and disadvantages, uPVC pipes, HDPE pipes and PPR pipes are often selected depending on the purpose of water supply - drainage of the project.

1. PVC pipes in water supply and drainage applications

PVC pipe is known as a flexible plastic manufactured from vinyl chloride resin. PVC stands for polyvinylchloride. PVC pipes include soft PVC pipes and rigid PVC pipes (also known as uPVC pipes). In contrast to uPVC, which does not require the use of plasticizers, flexible PVC pipes incorporate DOP into the production formulation. Up to now, PVC pipe is still one of the most widely used plastic pipes in construction and water supply and drainage projects. Despite many advantages in terms of durability, ease of transportation and installation, PVC pipes still have many disadvantages such as low temperature derivation.

2. HDPE pipes and benefits in the water supply and drainage industry

Manufactured from polymerization of high density polyethylene under low pressure, HDPE pipe, also known as high density polyethylene, is currently one of the most durable construction materials on the market. HDPE pipe has long been the choice in large-scale projects in hydropower, water plants, industrial parks and green urban areas thanks to its ability to drain large amounts of water and supply clean water.

3. PPR pipes in water supply and drainage

PPR pipe stands for polypropylene random copolymers, also known as heat-sealed plastic pipes, heat-resistant plastic pipes. Although it has not been around for a long time, PRR plastic pipes have been used a lot by teachers and investors because of its obvious advantages.
