What Is Plastic Pipework?

Plastic pipes are the general name for pipes made of plastic materials. Plastic pipes have the characteristics of light weight, health and safety, low resistance to water flow, energy saving, metal saving, improvement of living environment, long service life, safety and convenience, etc., and are favored by the pipeline engineering community. In the past 10 years, driven by the rapid development of China's macro economy, China's plastic pipelines have experienced rapid development against the background of the great development of chemical building materials. In 2010, the national plastic pipe production exceeded 8 million tons, of which Guangdong, Zhejiang and Shandong accounted for 42% of the output. Plastic pipes have many advantages over traditional metal pipes and concrete pipes in many fields, so they have been recommended for use in many areas.

Coordinate one: technological innovation

At present, technological innovation has become the main driving force for enterprise development. The backbone enterprises in the plastic pipe industry attach great importance to the introduction of new technologies and the development of new products. While introducing advanced processing equipment, they continue to strengthen their research and development capabilities. Some large enterprises also have advanced Technology and product development center.

According to incomplete statistics, China's plastic pipe industry already has more than 1,000 patented technologies, and some products with independent intellectual property rights have taken the lead in the world. There are more and more new varieties, new structures, new materials, new technologies, new processes and patent projects of plastic pipes.

However, at present, some plastic pipe production enterprises in China have not invested much in product innovation. There are relatively few new products with high performance, high technological content, and high added value, and there are many similar general-purpose products and low-end products in the market. In some varieties of plastic pipes, the industry has not paid enough attention to the research of basic theories, only staying in the initial stage of product production and application. This requires the entire industry to further increase investment in technology research and development, improve independent research and development capabilities, improve scientific and technological innovation capabilities, improve product accuracy, and strive to enhance the competitiveness of the industry and enterprises.

Coordinate two: Safety and environmental protection

The safety and environmental performance of products have also received increasing attention from the entire society. At present, China has established a plastic pipe processing industry based on polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE), and polypropylene (PP) materials. "PPR pipes and PE pipes have higher technology content and are more environmentally friendly than PVC pipes. With the industry's competition and development, the future development direction will definitely be towards better quality and more environmentally friendly pipeline varieties."

Coordinate No. 3: Industry Concentration

In recent years, the industrial concentration of the plastic pipe industry is getting higher and higher. Currently, it is mainly concentrated in coastal and economically developed areas. Among them, the combined production of Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Shandong has exceeded one-third of the national total. Some enterprises have invested in new or expanded production bases in Tianjin, Northeast China, Central China, and Western China to increase production capacity to meet the gradual expansion of local demand.
