Cheap plastic pipe usually refers to plastic pipes with lower prices. Common materials include PVC and PE. These materials are cheaper because of their lower cost.
Plastic pipe is an important component of chemical building materials, with advantages such as hygiene, environmental protection and low consumption. Plastic pipe is made of synthetic resin as the main raw material, stabilizer, lubricant, plasticizer, etc., and is processed by extrusion. It has the characteristics of light weight, corrosion resistance and beautiful appearance. It is widely used in tap water supply systems, drainage, exhaust and sewage sanitary pipes, underground drainage pipe systems, rainwater pipes, and threading pipes for wire installation in house construction.
PE plastic pipe, also known as polyethylene plastic pipe, is relatively affordable because of its relatively simple manufacturing process and low raw material cost. This plastic pipe is widely used in water supply, drainage, heating and other fields. Its good corrosion resistance, good low-temperature toughness and relatively low price give it a certain advantage in the market.
PVC plastic pipe, also known as polyvinyl chloride plastic pipe, is also a relatively common plastic pipe material. Its production process is mature, large-scale, and high production efficiency, which further reduces the cost. In addition, PVC plastic pipe has good physical and mechanical properties, such as tensile strength and compressive strength, and is affordable, so it is widely used in drainage and sewage treatment systems in the construction field.
In addition, there are some other types of plastic pipes, such as PPR, PB, etc., whose prices may vary according to factors such as brand, quality, market supply and demand. But in the ordinary market environment, PE and PVC plastic pipes are generally considered to be relatively cheap plastic pipe types because of their cost advantages and wide application fields.
The advantages of plastic pipes are mainly reflected in the following aspects: light weight, excellent electrical insulation and chemical stability, easy installation and construction, low energy consumption, and good sealing.
1. Plastic pipes are light in weight, which makes handling and installation more convenient and reduces transportation costs.
2. Plastic pipes have excellent electrical insulation and chemical stability, can withstand corrosion from a variety of chemical substances, and are suitable for various harsh environments.
3. The installation and construction of plastic pipes are very convenient and easy to maintain, which can speed up the progress of the project and reduce the difficulty of construction.
4. Plastic pipes have low energy consumption and good sealing, which can effectively prevent leakage and ensure the stable operation of the system.
5. Plastic pipes perform well in applications in various fields. For example, PVC pipes have good tensile and compressive strength, low fluid resistance, and excellent corrosion resistance, and are suitable for water supply and drainage projects. PE plastic pipes have good corrosion resistance, high strength and toughness, and are suitable for gas transportation. These characteristics make plastic pipes widely used in housing construction, drainage systems, gas transportation and other fields.
