About Gorilla Star UPVC Pipes

Unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (uPVC) pipes are made from a combination of plastic and vinyl. These pipes are durable, hard to damage and long lasting. They do not rust, rot, or wear over a long period of time. Therefore, uPVC pipes are most commonly used for cold water applications in plumbing, water supply, underground drainage and sewage lines.

Due to the ability of uPVC pipe to withstand extreme movement and bending, it is also increasingly used in earthquake prone areas. It can withstand rigorous shaking of earth without experiencing any damage.

The smooth surface of the pipe is also resistant to bacterial contamination such as E.coli. Therefore, many water companies rely on uPVC pipes in their systems in order to keep them free of contamination. The general properties of uPVC are given below.

Salient Features:

  • Manufactured from quality raw material. Easy handling, transportation & installation.
  • Excellent chemical resistance.UV stabilized and hence suitable for outdoor applications.Manufactured under highest quality standards which ensures reliability of the product.
  • High impact and deformation properties.
  •  Ultraviolet protected.
  • Smooth solid wall.
  •  Specially formulated pipes reduce linear expansion/ contraction of pipes due to temperature variance, ensuring suitability for outdoor application.
  • Heat-fusion jointing results in homogenous plastic system ensuring leak-proof joints.
  • Under normal conditions, Gorilla Star Pipes possess relatively high resistance to impact damage when compared to pipes made from clay, concrete and most other conventional materials.
  • Gorilla star pipes and fitting are competitive with other materials, particularly when installation and life cycle operating costs are taken into consideration.
