Common plastics such as PVC, PC, ABS, PE, PP, PS and PU all have their own unique properties and applications in the construction industry. They are used to manufacture products such as water pipes, partition panels, roofing sheets, sound and heat insulation materials, sunshade materials and other products in construction. The use of these plastics in the construction industry also helps to increase usability, durability and reduce the impact on the environment.

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)

Characteristic:

PVC is a synthetic resin with flexibility, strength, high strength, good heat resistance and fire resistance.

It has good wear resistance, chemical resistance and mechanical strength.

Application:

PVC is widely used to manufacture water pipes, drainage pipes, partition panels, doors and windows.

It is also used in the production of ductile and insulating materials for constructions.

Polycarbonate (PC)

Characteristic:

PC is a transparent, high-strength, impact- and weather-resistant plastic.

It has good fire resistance and ability to withstand sunlight.

Application:

PC is used to manufacture light filters, roofing and sunblock materials in construction.

Polycarbonate roofing sheets get light in solid form

Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS)

Characteristic:

ABS is a hard, elastic and impact resistant plastic.

It has good chemical resistance, heat resistance and corrosion resistance.

Application:

ABS is used to manufacture water supply pipes, gen pipes, electrical socket covers, electrical panels

Polyethylene (PE)

Characteristic:

PE is a lightweight plastic with high strength and good chemical resistance.

It has good fire resistance and weather resistance.

Application:

PE is used to manufacture water pipes and containers in construction.

Polypropylene (PP)

Characteristic:

PP is a hard plastic and has good chemical resistance.

It has good mechanical strength and high heat resistance.

Application:

PP is used to manufacture water pipes, water meters and other parts in wastewater treatment systems.

Polystyrene (PS)

Characteristic:

PS is a lightweight, hard plastic that can withstand high temperatures.

It has good fire resistance and waterproofing.

Application:

PS is used to manufacture insulation panels, soundproofing materials and other parts in construction.

Polyurethane (PU)

Characteristic:

PU is a plastic with high strength, flexibility and good impact resistance.

It has good sound insulation, heat insulation and fire resistance.

Application:

PU is used to manufacture soundproof panels, insulation materials, building insulation materials and other products in the construction industry.
