WHAT IS PVC RAW

MATERIAL?
PVC raw material is a white substance with
many positive properties. It was in 1930 that
PVC was started to be used in industrial
production in 1875. PVC raw material is
obtained as a result of the reaction with one of
ethylene (obtained by processing a series of
crude oil) in chlorine and C ratio.Due to the low
oil production and low cost of production PVC
raw material has a great advantage over other
Polyethylene and Polypropylene raw materials.
The rate of ethylene use in polyethylene and
polypropylene raw materials? This ratio is C in
PVC. Although PVC raw material uses less of the
world oil reserves its dependence on oil is less.

How is PVC Raw Materials

Formed?
Pvc raw material is produced by polymerizing
the chlorine gas obtained by the removal of the
salt by electrolysis method and by the
interaction of ethylene gas obtained by
distillation of the crude oil.The polymerization
process takes place in a closed reactor. This is
used to ensure that raw material inputs are
monitored at every stage of the process. Sea
water is electrolyzed to obtain chlorine gas. The
result of this process is the sea water; chlorine
gas caustic soda and hydrogen.The process of
obtaining ethylene gas requires more chemical
processes by looking at chlorine gas.
Let's look at the process to be done;First of all
distillation of crude oil is provided by an
intermediate called ta naphta. This 'naphta'
intermediate is subjected to the 'catalytic
cracking' treatment using chemical catalyst.
As the chlorine and ethylene substances are in
the form of "gas" the reaction of these
compounds leads to the formation of the ECD
substance of Etandichlorine followed by the
addition of end-to-end vinyl chloride molecules
to form large molecules and to obtain
Polyvinylchloride PVC raw material.
What is the cause of
degradation of PVC? How
long is the lifetime?
There are two reasons for the deterioration of
PVC pipes during the usage period. These; HEAT
and LIGHT. Heat degradation occurs by
hydrogen chloride release. Due to the resulting
gas pipe yellowing occurs.Redness redness
brown and black colors are seen in the color of
the pipe according to the degree of failure.
Kuzeyboru PVC pipes are exposed to UV
radiation or gamma irradiation when they do
not contain UV additive. Kuzeyboru PVC-U pipes
are not brittle because they are crystal
structure. But in materials such as polyethylene
and polypropylene? - It has a crystal structure of
85 percent.
Here is the reason why crystal is important; the
more crystalline the structure is the more fragile
it becomes in the sunlight. If we explain the
point that causes Polyethylene and
Polypropylene material molecules parallel to
each other PVC is mixed in a mixed way so it is
difficult to break the bonds of PVC.In addition
PVC pipes should be manufactured in the wall
thickness specified in the standards specified in
the pipeline and more than 9% of calcite should
not be used.
Otherwise even if the pipes pass the pressure
tests they will eventually run out of life in a
shorter period of time.One of the most
important factors affecting the quality of the
pipeline is the joining process in the pipeline.
Leakage occurs at the beginning of the problems
that occur in the pipeline and this occurs at the
jointing points.
In order to prevent this the diameter difference
between the pipe to be joined should not be
more than 4%. If this diameter difference is
exceeded the problems mentioned above are
likely to occur. Because two pipes will pass each
other abundantly and from that point on they
will start leaks.
In the case of pipes and fittings it is important
that they are taken from the same company.
Because each firm may have different tolerances
this will cause difficulties in the joining process.

Are PVC Pipes Flammable?

One of the most commonly known mistakes in
PVC raw materials is that PVC is dangerous
because it has a flammable effect. The
temperature required for the self-ignition of the
PVC raw material is 450 oC. However the
melting point is very low and has very fast
burning properties. After burning HCL (salt
spirit) occurs.
From this point of view there is no relation with
the combustion of Carbon Monoxide gas PVC
which causes poisoning during fire. We know
that the spirit of salt here is also poisonous but
people can perceive the smell of poisoning by
detecting odor even in the small amount of odor
like 5 PPM in the salt spirit.
In a nutshell a burnt PVC pipe emerges as a spirit
of salt and when people take the scent of this salt
spirit they perceive it as a fire harbinger.
So PVC is stimulating people instead of fire.
When we open PVC to open fire it will naturally
burn like other plastics. But when we draw from
fire this fire will stop immediately. The reason
for this is that as we mentioned above the salt
spirit formed during the burning occurs and the
oxygen in the burning area is cut out and
extinguishes the burning place.To summarize
what we have explained above; PVC raw
material is NOT FIRE EXTINGUISHING THE FIRE
IS RIGHT instead.

PVC Pipes Make Cancer?

In 1930 there was no report about PVC that had
been tested or approved for use in industrial
technology. More importantly PVC is one of the
leading plastics approved by the World Health
Organization for the storage and transport of
food products. But there is an important issue
here; In the course of the polymerization
process the amount of Vinyl Chloride may be a
risk if it is left in the raw material to threaten
human health.
However thanks to closed reactors this amount
can be followed and the polymerization process
is continued until it falls to 1 PPM or 1 million.
Thanks to this progressive technology there will
be no situation that will affect human health
after the procedure.
Such that the materials used in the medical field
are also used in PVC. The reason for this is the
fact that the tests carried out and the one of the
most important features of PVC are not in a
structure that will affect human health.

Advantages of PVC Pipes

* Kuzeyboru Pvc Pipes Due to the light weight
and easy to carry.
* Kuzeyboru Pvc Pipes Do not spoil the taste of
water
* Kuzeyboru PVC pipes does not create
environments that allow microorganisms to
reproduce.
* Kuzeyboru PVC pipes are resistant to internal
and external pressure.
* Kuzeyboru PVC Pipes Long-lasting and
resistant to corrosion and corrosion.
* Kuzeyboru Pvc Pipes Pressure loss is low.
* Kuzeyboru PVC Pipes Surface is bright and
smooth.
* Kuzeyboru PVC pipes are not flammable.
* Kuzeyboru PVC Pipes are of high impact
durability.
* Kuzeyboru PVC pipes are fully compatible with
pressure fittings.
* It is the most environmentally friendly pipe
material in all plastic materials due to the use of
less oil and less energy consumption compared
to other plastic materials. More importantly as
the raw material of PVC can be processed as
much as desired it is possible to continue its
economic life as well as environmental
cleanliness. In other words the PVC tube can be
burned to destroy and reprocess by reprocessin
* It is suitable for all kinds of fluid transport with
