Uses of plastic pipesWater mains, hot and cold water distribution, drain, waste, and vent (DMV), sewer, gas distribution, irrigation, conduit, fire sprinkler and process piping are the major markets for plastic piping systems throughout the world. “Underground piping makes up the largest part of the market,” observes Vikas.
Plastic piping systems enable many important sustainable and green technologies for buildings sectors. The primary plumbing applications in which plastic piping is used are as follows:Non-pressure applications• Building drain, waste and vent (DMV)• Building sewers and drains.Pressure applications• Water service• Hot and cold water distribution.For agriculture• Sprinkler irrigation system• Drip irrigation systems• Mini sprinkler irrigation system• uPVC Pipes for potable water supplies and fittings• HDPE coils, pipes and fittings for water supplies.For industrial and others• HDPE pipes for sewerage• SWR pipes and fittings• PLB HDPE duct for telecommunications• HDPE double walled corrugated pipes• PVC electrical conduit pipes• MDPE pipes for transportation of water petrol and natural gases world-wide. • PVC-U underground drainage and sewerage pipes
Pricing scenarioFocusing on the current pricing scenario, Vikas says, “The recent decline or any fluctuations changes in global oil prices is causing some petrochemical supply chain destocking, but is also sowing the seeds for better economic conditions, lower petrochemical prices and improving global petrochemical demand. These trends are ultimately leading to tighter market conditions, since oil serves as the marginal production cost and price-setter for many chemicals, plastics and fibres, a decline in the oil price typically leads to lower product prices and or incline in the oil price leads to higher products prices.”
