About uPVC:
Unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (uPVC) pipes are made from a combination of plastic and vinyl. These pipes are durable, hard to damage and long lasting. They do not rust, rot, or wear over a long period of time. Therefore, uPVC pipes are most commonly used for cold water applications in plumbing, water supply, underground drainage and sewage lines.
Due to the ability of uPVC pipe to withstand extreme movement and bending, it is also increasingly used in earthquake prone areas. It can withstand rigorous shaking of earth without experiencing any damage. The smooth surface of the pipe is also resistant to bacterial contamination such as E.coli. Therefore, many water companies rely on uPVC pipes in their systems in order to keep them free of contamination. The general properties of uPVC aregiven below.

Why Ashirvad Aqualife uPVC Pipes ?
Self Alignment System for correct alignment of fittings with pipes during fitment. Fittings have an alignment mark which is to be matched with the blue stripe on the pipe during the fitment process. This is to ensure that in the concealed installations the water outlet fittings are perpendicular to the wall surface and to avoid any repair, breakage, etc, after the wall finishing has been completed. This system ensures a perpendicular and correct fit each time. Ashirvad Aqualife uPVC pipes and fittings are made with special lead free compound to ensure conformity to the latest requirements in the developed nations, the lead free compound is non-toxic and safe for drinking water purposes. Ashirvad Aqualife plumbing system has a pressure bearing capacity twice than that of the threaded pipe.

Ashirvad Aqualife pipes and fittings are UV resistant offering better resistance to Ultra Violet degradation.

Fire Resistant
Ashirvad Aqualife pipes and fittings are self-extinguishing and do not support combustion.
Good Chemical Resistance
Ashirvad Aqualife pipes and fittings are inert to attack by a wide variety of strong acids, alkalis, salt solutions, alcohols and many other chemicals. They do not react with materials carried, nor act as a catalyst.
Good Corrosion Resistance
Internal Corrosion Resistance
Ashirvad Aqualife pipes and fittings resist chemical attack by most acids, alkalis, salts, and organic media such as alcohols and aliphatic hydrocarbons, within certain limits of temperature and pressure.

External Corrosion Resistance
Industrial fumes, humidity, saltwater, weather, atmospheric, or underground conditions-regardless of soil type or moisture – cannot harm these pipe and fittings. Scratches or surface
abrasions do not provide points at which corrosive elements can attack.

Low thermal conductivity
Ashirvad Aqualife pipes and fittings have a much lower thermal conductivity factor than metal pipes. This ensures that fluids maintain a constant temperature. Solvent adhesive jointing The jointing of Ashirvad Aqualife pipes is simple and a single step process which uses solvent adhesive, providing a 100% leak proof joint.
