CPVC AND SWR PIPES AND FITTINGS

[EIRI/EDPR/3648] J.C.: 1732

INTRODUCTION

PVC (unplasticized polyvinylchloride)/cPVC/uPVC pipes and fittings exhibit

excellent resistance to aggressive environments both naturally occurring and as a
result of industrial activity. They are resistant to almost all types of corrosion,
either chemical or electrochemical in nature. Since PVC is a non-conductor,
galvanic and electro chemical effects do not occur in PVC pipes.

PVC/cPVC/uPVC Pipe and Fittings including Coupler, Tee, Reducer, Female,

Elbow etc. have got tremendous demand in India as well as in abroad. To
manufacture this, all the machinery and raw materials are available indigenously.

SWR pipes also known as PVC SWR Pipes are available with one end as plain and
other ends as self-socketed with an integral groove to hold the rubber gasket.
When joined with a rubber ring, the joint formed is a water tight. This rubber ring
joint takes care of thermal expansion/contraction in the pipes.

 These Pipes are Lead Contaminant Free leading to superior quality

 These Pipes is a fully backward integrated manufacturer with complete

control of raw material used to generate unbeatable quality
