Problems encountered in the development of my plastic pipe materials

China's plastic pipe industry has seen rapid development in recent years, especially in PE and PPR pipes. However, while the industry faces unprecedented opportunities with an annual growth rate of 15%, various concerns severely affect the market's normal development, leading to increasing calls for regulation and market order rectification.

  China's plastic pipe industry has seen rapid development in recent years, especially in PE and PPR pipes. However, while the annual growth rate of plastic pipes in China has reached 15%, the industry faces unprecedented challenges and concerns, significantly impacting the market's normal development. Calls for market regulation and rectification are growing louder.

  Most of China's plastic pipe production and exports are low-end products. Although the development of plastic pipes in China has been unstoppable in the past two years, high value-added products remain scarce. Currently, domestically produced plastic water pipes and fittings are mostly general-purpose products. Pipes and fittings with high usage requirements and high added value are relatively few, greatly limiting their market applications. The application of high-end plastic pipes is only in its initial stages.

  Solving these industry problems ultimately depends on the standardization of various projects and sufficient budget allocation. Therefore, in the next 3-5 years, our efforts should not only focus on improving the industry itself but also on enhancing the quality of related industries such as water companies, municipal engineering, and real estate. This will ultimately lead to the improvement of the plastic pipe industry.

Kongwang steel strip polyethylene composite pipe

Kongwang perforated steel belt polyethylene composite pipe is a composite pipe material with a perforated steel pipe welded from cold-rolled steel strip as the reinforcing skeleton and composite thermoplastic plastic. Due to the introduction of the reinforcing skeleton, the pressure resistance of the pipe is significantly improved. Different types and grades of thermoplastic plastics can be used to produce composite pipe materials for different purposes. The perforated steel belt plastic pipes produced by the company are divided into several uses according to their uses: water supply, underground gas, hot water, chemical, and special uses.

Development prospects of large-diameter (large-caliber) pressure pipes

The application of plastic pipes, both domestically and internationally, started with smaller diameters and gradually developed towards larger diameters. (There is no defined definition for large diameter; in this article, large diameter refers to diameters of 800mm and above.) It is worth noting that in recent years, there has been a major international trend towards the development of large-diameter plastic pipes, driven by environmental protection. As is well known, the world is currently facing a battle against climate change, and all countries must bear the responsibility of reducing carbon emissions. In the pipeline industry, there is undoubtedly a need to pay more attention to environmental impact.
