TUCRIS - Cristal PVC pipe
Plastic products have gained space over the years, being one of the most used in the industrial area. This increase in consumption is mainly due to the low cost of plastic, reduced weight, high resistance, easy modification of shapes and colors.
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is one of the most used polymers in the world. Its main application is in pipes. It can be classified as rigid or flexible.
TPVCTube Cristal and the its production Process
TUCAB is a company specialized in the development of plastic tubes and profiles, which includes the Crystal PVC pipe. All of our products are manufactured through the extrusion process, which involves filling the extruder funnel with PVC Cristal, which will give rise to the PVC Cristal tube, which falls onto a screw inside a cylinder heated by electrical resistance, causing the material to pass through three zones: feeding, compression and dosing. At the end of the cylinder, the material passes through steel screens, so that they hold impurities and, after that, the material passes to the matrix where the PVC Cristal tube takes its final shape.
With the ease of plastic being modeled, its characteristics become mechanical and intermediate between the values corresponding to rubbers and fibers. Thus, it is possible to see that products previously made with other materials such as metal and wood, are now replaced by plastic.
