Materials used
ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene)
UPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride)
CPVC (post chlorinated polyvinyl chloride)
PB-1 (polybutylene)
PP (polypropylene)
PE (polyethylene) also known as LDPE and HDPE (low and high density)
PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride)
PVC (polyvinyl chloride)
Material characteristics
ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene)
ABS is used for the conveyance of potable water, slurries and chemicals. Most commonly used for
DWV (drain-waste-vent) applications. It has a wide temperature range, from -40C to +60C.
UPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride) and CPVC (post chlorinated polyvinyl chloride)
UPVC has excellent chemical resistance across its operating temperature range, with a broad band of
operating pressures. Due to its long-term strength characteristics, high stiffness and cost effectiveness,
UPVC systems account for a large proportion of plastic piping installations.
CPVC is resistant to many acids, bases, salts, paraffinic hydrocarbons, halogens and alcohols. It is not
resistant to solvents, aromatics and some chlorinated hydrocarbons. It can carry higher temperature
liquids than pvc.
PB-1 (polybutylene)
PB-1 is used in pressure piping systems for hot and cold potable water, pre-insulated district heating
networks, and surface heating and cooling systems. Key properties are weldability, temperature
resistance, flexibility and high hydrostatic pressure resistance. One standard type, PB 125, has a
minimum required strength (MRS) of 12.5 MPa. It also has low noise transmission, low linear thermal

expansion, no corrosion and calcification.

PB-1 piping systems are no longer sold in North America. Market share in Europe and Asia is small
but steadily growing. In some markets, e.g. Kuwait, UK, Korea and Spain, PB-1 has a strong position.
PP (polypropylene)
Polypropylene is suitable for use with foodstuffs, potable and ultra pure waters, as well as within the
pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
PE (polyethylene)
Polyethylene has been successfully used for the safe conveyance of potable and waste water,
hazardous waste, and compressed gases for many years. Two variants are HDPE (high-density
polyethylene) and the more heat resistant PEX (cross-linked polyethylene).
PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride)
PVDF has excellent chemical resistance which means that it is widely used in the chemical industry as
a piping system for aggressive liquids.
