What is the difference between PVC pipe and PC pipe

PC pipe and PVC pipe material is different, decided by their material PC pipe is generally higher strength, while the PVC pipe strength is poorer, the price is also different, PC pipe is more expensive, while the price of PVC pipe is lower. pc pipe is mainly used in the pressure of the place, such as the upper part of the water pressure, PVC pipe is generally used in the place where there is no water pressure for the drainage pipe.

Extended Information:

PC material is polycarbonate material, Polycarbonate, is a colorless and transparent amorphous thermoplastic material. Mechanical strength is very high, Polycarbonate is colorless and transparent, heat-resistant, impact-resistant, flame-retardant, without additives with UL94 V-0 flame retardant properties.

PVC material is polyvinyl chloride material, is currently the second largest production of general-purpose plastics, but also the most widely used plastics, PVC itself is also colorless and transparent hard materials, but more brittle than the PC, transparency is not as good as the PC, the other mechanical properties are also very different from the PC. But PVC can add a lot of plasticizers, after joining can be made into soft PVC. the so-called hard PVC is 100 kg of PVC resin powder in the amount of plasticizer added less than 5 kg of polyvinyl chloride PVC plastic, such as construction of downpipes, downpipes, plastic windows, credit cards and so on belong to the hard PVC. the amount of plasticizer added more than 5 kg is called semi-hard PVC, more than 25 kg is called soft PVC. Like ordinary wire outer skin, disposable infusion tubes, some inflatable toys, soft curtains, supermarkets sell the kind of transparent plastic table mats called soft glass, etc. are soft PVC. PVC can also be any coloring, made into a variety of transparent and opaque color products, so PVC is currently the widest range of plastics, the price of only PC 1/2 to 1/4 or so.
