Rising domestic demand

In recent years, with the constant deepening of China's reform and opening up and the state's infrastructure to increase investment, domestic demand for plastic pipe has maintained an average annual growth rate of over 15%, especially in the city for the drainage pipe network construction , plastic pipe is playing an increasingly important role. Compared with traditional cast iron pipe, plastic pipe bulk density of light, long life, in general, the life of plastic pipe for more than 50 years, basically reached the same life and architecture.

In some specific areas, the application of the amount of plastic pipe is very large, such as the present, the most eye-catching floor radiant heating industry, people use PE-Xa, or PE-RT pipe as a heating pipe, through the radiant floor heating throughout the room, with a comfortable safety, energy-saving environmental protection, etc., has gradually become the northern approach of choice for heating in winter, even in some cities, if not installed to warm the new real estate on no one is interested. Driven by the strong market demand, to engage in heated plastic pipe manufacturing business almost overnight, the outbreak, including Qinhuangdao Wang Yue Plastic Co., Ltd. has become the largest production base of the ground heating pipe, the company in 2008 PE-Xa pipe production and sales volume ranks first in the country.

Meanwhile, the plastic pipe applications, further broadening, in addition to the municipal and construction, drainage channels, agricultural (water supply, irrigation and drainage) pipe continues to grow, the transformation of the rural drinking water, solar water pipelines, municipal sewage, ground-source heat pump pipelines, communication , electricity, gas, heating, medical and other industries a significant increase in the proportion of the applications. Plastic pipe has become popular now applied to buildings, drainage, building heating, city gas distribution, urban water supply, municipal drainage, sewerage, drinking water in rural transformation, agricultural irrigation, row, electricity, communications, industrial and many other fields.

"Eleventh Five-Year" period, China's annual demand for plastic pipe used in construction of about 50 million meters. 2010, China's output of plastic pipes to reach 4.5 million tons by 2015 will reach 6 million tons, then our country will become the world's largest plastic pipe production in the country.

The growing capacity for product development,

In recent years, the industry has noticeably accelerated pace of technological progress, in particular the increase in international exchanges led to the improvement of scientific and technological level, many enterprises attach importance to advanced technology from abroad, and in the introduction of advanced processing equipment at the same time, more emphasis on new product development and introduction of new technologies At present the technological level of domestic plastic pipe with foreign countries is gradually narrowing the gap between the developed countries. Plastic pipe of new varieties, new structures, new materials, new technologies, new technology and patents more and more, in addition to PE, PE-X, PB, composite pipe, corrugated pipe and other varieties has made significant progress, the high-temperature poly - Ethylene Pipeline (PE-RT), plastic composite pipe (such as HLDPE, quiet pipes, etc.), plastic metal composite pipe and a variety of materials and composite materials, corrugated pipe, annular pipe, Pipe, and other new channels have also developed rapidly.

With the awareness of independent innovation of domestic pipe business growing, the new PVC pipe is very active in the development, technological progress has brought innovation to the value of PVC pipe. Domestic outstanding technological innovation is a pressure pipe with the modified PVC (PVC-M) pipes and orientation of PVC (PVC-O) pipes. The two species through physical chemical modification, while maintaining the original strength of pipe advantages, a good increase the impact resistance of the pipe, set PE pipe toughness and strength of PVC-U in one, can improve performance, can also save material, which extends the application fields.

In other plastic piping products, R & D and innovation, are also impressive, such as PE-RT pipe is now out of plastic derived from aluminum, blocking oxygen, capillary and many other varieties, but also have Steady PPR pipe, glass, plastic aluminum and so on nearly 10 categories. These new products emerging, not only improved the use of such pipe performance, but also expanded the product range of applications.

Compete in international markets has been consolidated

In recent years, with the constant growth and expansion of domestic enterprises, China has gradually replaced the plastic pipe pipe imports and become a very competitive product advantage. Many enterprises attach great importance to the international forefront of technology, emphasis on new product development and introduction of new technologies, and the introduction of advanced processing equipment, but also constantly increasing research and development of new products. Some large enterprises have their own research and development centers, there is a certain degree of technical strength, technical level and is gradually narrowing the gap between the developed countries, has now moved from the simple to replace imported products, exporting to the development.

According to statistics, in 2007 the amount of production and application of all kinds of plastic pipe has reached 3.5 million tons or so. At present, China has become the world's second largest after the United States production and application of plastic pipe big country, an annual capacity of more than 10,000 tons to reach more than 100 companies and more than 10 million tons as many as 20 enterprises. In the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW Juan PE) pipe, flexible interface, polyethylene pipe, large diameter drainage pipe and other steel-plastic composite winding has international advanced level. As a result, exports also contributed to substantial growth in exports in 2006 amounted to 224.3 thousand tons, in 2007 the export volume of 291.5 thousand tons, in 2008 the export volume of 355.6 thousand tons, exports increased 19.1%, respectively, 30.2% and 22 %.

Compared to the same quality products with foreign countries, China's low-cost plastic pipe in the international market is very competitive. Some visionary domestic enterprises have begun to actively develop the international market, make full use of the advantages of inexpensive high-quality domestic products, a firm foothold in the international market, some of which company's products have been sold to Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, the Americas and Europe and other regions. Qinhuangdao, according to Wang Yue Wang Plastic Co., Ltd. Minco Marketing Manager introduced the end of 2007, the company engaged in export trade, and through participation in Canton Fair, overseas exhibition to obtain a wealth of client resources, has formed a batch of export this year, plans to export volume in 1000 million or more.

To play a role in support of national policies

Plastic pipe has to conserve energy, protect the natural ecological environment, the advantages of line with national industrial development. Under the "national chemical building material industry," Tenth Five-Year "plan and the 2010 Development Plan," promote the use of plastic pipe will vigorously develop, focusing on varieties with PVC and PE pipe-based. By 2010, the national new construction, reconstruction, expansion project, building drainage channels 80% of the use of plastic pipes, building rainwater drains 70% of the use of plastic pipes, urban drainage channels of the plastic tube used up to 30%, construction water supply, water supply and 80% of the heating pipe plastic pipe, urban water supply pipes (DN400mm below) and 70% of the plastic pipe, water supply pipes 70% of the villages plastic tubes, city gas plastic pipe (low pressure pipe) applications reached 60 percent, building wire and threading sheath tube 90% of the use of plastic pipe.

Along with the growing emphasis on environmental protection in the next few years, many countries in the construction of urban sewage treatment plant, drainage pipe network construction will put huge sums of money. The 2010 Plan Wastewater Reclamation and Reuse of wastewater in the amount of water to achieve 30% of the total, which require specialized laying pipelines. All of these are for China plastic pipe industry has brought a broad prospect.

At the same time it should be noted, China's plastic pipe industry, there are still some negative factors that hinder their development, such as the vicious competition in the market leads to low product prices, dependent on imports of raw materials, new products and new technology popularization and application of slow, in particular, is the current global economic crisis on the plastic pipe industry impacted her greatly. To speed up the development of China's plastic pipe industry, the author recommends that: to play the functions of trade associations, and actively provide enterprises with services and support. Speed up the development speed of China's raw materials, standardize the industry self-regulation. To establish a strict quality control mechanism for quality and excellent products of high technology enterprises have become the mainstream, but also allow the construction companies have more advanced technology, so as to enhance the overall use of the product effect
