PVC material is polyvinyl chloride, is one of the world's larger output of plastic products, cheap price, widely used, PVC material has the characteristics of light weight, heat insulation, moisture, moisture, flame retardant, easy construction, specifications and color pattern style, very rich decorative effect, generally PVC water pipes, PVC plastic doors and Windows and plastic toys containing PVC.

PVC pipe is divided into PVC-U pipe and UPVC, PVC-U pipe is mainly used for building drainage, light and durable, beautiful color, bright smooth, long service life; uPVC pipe is not good for freezing and heat resistance, but good dryness resistance, strong corrosion resistance, high mechanical strength, non-toxic health, suitable for electric wires and pipes and sewage pipes.
