Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] PVC material is an important material in modern chemical production, and it is widely used in life and industry. After PVC material, that is, polyvinyl chloride resin, is matched with stabilizers, lubricants and the like and then extruded into a tubular shape by a hot pressing method, PVC pipes are obtained. By adopting different process proportions, PVC pipes are generally divided into PVC-U pipes, PVC-M pipes and PVC-O pipes. Among them, PVC-U pipes have strong corrosion resistance, are easy to bond, have low prices and hard texture. They are used for applications such as drainage, wastewater, chemicals, heating and cooling liquids, food, ultra-pure liquids, mud, gas, compressed air and vacuum systems. PVC-O pipes, the Chinese name of which is biaxially oriented polyvinyl chloride, are the latest evolution form of PVC pipes. The pipes are manufactured by a special orientation processing technology. The PVC-U pipes produced by the extrusion method are axially stretched and radially stretched, so that the long-chain molecules of PVC in the pipes are regularly arranged in the biaxial direction, and a new type of PVC pipe material with high strength, high toughness, high impact resistance and fatigue resistance is obtained.
