Plastic Tubing

Plastic Tubing is widely used for its light weight, chemical resistance, non-corrosive properties, and ease of making connections.

Plastic materials include:

  • polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
  • chlorinated polyvinyl chloride(CPVC)
  • fibre reinforced plastic (FRP)
  • reinforced polymer mortar (RPMP)
  • polypropylene(PP)
  • polyethylene(PE)
  • cross-linked high-density polyethylene (PEX)
  • polybutylene (PB)
  • acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS

In many countries, PVC pipes account for most pipe materials used in buried municipal applications for drinking water distribution and waste water mains.
