Abstract: The use of plastic materials by the piping industry accounts for a significant volume of polymers. In this segment PVC represents the largest worldwide market for plastics. PVC is often used in plastic pressure pipe systems for pipelines in the water and sewer industries because of its inexpensive nature and flexibility. Pipes and fittings constitute the largest volume application at 40% of the marketplace. This paper discusses the piping extrusion process and the worldwide PVC market, emphasizing the Brazilia… Show more

“…Nowadays, 70% of PVC resin is used for building and construction industries and the largest amount of these polymers is used to manufacture rigid pipes, tubing, and fittings. [ 2,3 ] In the United States and Canada, it turns out that pipes and tubing products currently account for over 52% of PVC consumption. These products include transmission as well as distribution of pipes like sewage and drainage pipes and the fittings are necessary to assemble piping systems for drain, waste, and venting service and pipes, which are used for agricultural purposes.…”

“…The applications of PVC ranges from construction materials to health care, electronics, automobile and other industrial sectors [18][19][20] . Recently, Braga et al, reported the synthesis of SNPs incorporated PVC films with the silver loading of 1.0 to 8.0%, the results revealed that the synthesized SNC-PVC composite films exhibited the highest antimicrobial activities and used for food packaging applications [21] .…”
