Plastic pipe is a most popular pipe today in a plumbing and draining systems in a house.
Plastic pipes can be different in a properties and usage. Most known and useful are:
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) -- ABS pipe is black rigid, non-pressurized plastic
pipe used to drain your sinks, tubs, showers, toilet and washing machines. It is also used
to vent the drain and waste pipes.
The main disadvantages of ABS are its poor solvent and fatigue resistance, high smoke
evolution on combustion. The material is resistant to
water, aqueous salt and acid solutions, and oils but is unsuitable for use with many
organic materials and oxidizing acids.
Poly vinyl Chloride (PVC)A thermoplastic polymer resin material that is rigid
and practically chemically inert. Commonly used for water pipes and fittings.
PVC is a white plastic pipe used outside. It can be used only for cold water.
Its uses include water services, between the meter and building, and for irrigation.
Virgin PVC is cheap, inherently flame-retardant, stiff and strong with good vapour
barrier properties and UV resistance. PVC is stable in contact with inorganic chemicals,
including aqueous alkalis and acids. It is unaffected by exposure to oils and alcohol's
but is degraded by most polar aromatic hydrocarbons.
