Raw Matarials that can be used

LDPE - (Low Density Polyethylene) Has outstanding flexibility at very low temperatures, with very good chemical resistance.  Potable water grades are available.
HDPE - (High Density Polyethylene) Is widely used for buried gas and water pipelines.   It has very low friction loss with excellent abrasion and chemical resistance.   Please note: Maximum service temperature is 80oC.
PP - (Polypropylene) Has excellent resistance to most chemicals and high heat (as high as 110oC for certain grades) good abrasion resistance.  Please note: Generally unsuitable for outdoor use unless stabilised against the effect of UV light (Ultra Violet).
ABS - (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) Has exceptional impact strength, it is also non-toxic and is suitable for use at low temperatures (as low as -40oC).   It is light weight, easy to join with solvent cement and has good chemical resistance, this makes ABS an excellent choice for most types of pipe-work.
PVC - (Polyvinyl Chloride) Is probably the oldest and most commonly used plastic today.  In rigid form it has a working temperature of between 0oC - 60oC and can be easily joined with solvent cement.  Flexible grades are used for a wide range of low pressure tube applications with food quality grades available.
HIPS - (High Impact Polystyrene) Is tough, rigid and is available in crystal clear grades that make it the ideal material for packaging and point of sale applications.  It has a maximum service temperature of 75oC with only limited resistance to dilute acids or alkalis.  Not generally suitable for outdoor use. 

All materials come in a variety of colours and additives for;

• flame retarding,
  
• UV resists,
  
• anti static etc.
