PVC or uPVC- Why The Upgrade Is Beneficial

Long gone, the time, when the profiles etc were carved out of wood and timber. The emergence of PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) was a revolutionary emergence in the realm of the manufacturing and installation. However, thanks to the research and development, one even advanced products have been formulated. This is the uPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride). Due to its obvious advantages, the uPVC accessories suppliers are in huge demand in the nation of Philippines.

The uPVC is manufactured similarly to that of PVC by mitigating the addition of the ingredient plasticizer ( which makes the PVC more flexible). UPVC is extremely versatile that find application in the every household and business space.

Let’s understand why uPVC is even a better option than PVC through a comparison in several aspects

1. Cost-effectiveness

The manufacturing process of uPVC is less expensive as compared to PVC. This also, the mass production, makes the cost per item even lesser and it enables the manufacturer to offer the products at a comparatively lower price than PVC.

2. Durability

The uPVC material is extremely durable, especially in harsh weather. Unlike the poor grade polymer, it does not melt or softens on exposure to intense sunlight or rainy weather. This resistance makes it an ideal material for plumbing and piping.

3. Diversity

The moldability of the uPVC makes it possible to shape them into any desirable shape and structure. As a result, the uPVC materials can be mold to a number of things, each of the same having its own specific features.

4. Recycling & Molding

Similar to PVC, the uPVC is non-biodegradable as well. However, the uPVC is recyclable and hence, it can be remolded after reheating on extremely high temperature. It saves a lot of wastage and promotes a healthy environment.

5. Safety & Risks

The additives in the PVC such as phthalate in the PVC makes it flexible but simultaneous it produces toxic gas upon heating. Even though over the years them, a material has been substituted, the probability of imminent danger still remains. The same is not applicable to the uPVC which does not have any additives of phthalates.

Thus, in a nutshell, it can be clearly seen that the uPVC does offer several additional advantages as compared to PVC. So, it comes as no surprise that the demand and popularity of uPVC accessory supplier are increasing day by day in the Philippines.
