PVC air pipe and rubber air pipe are both common materials. PVC air hose has the following advantages over rubber air pipes:
Low cost
PVC is a synthetic material with relatively abundant raw materials and low cost. Therefore, the price of PVC air pipes is usually cheaper than that of rubber air pipes. This makes PVC air pipes have a greater advantage in some cost-sensitive application scenarios.
Strong corrosion resistance
PVC has good chemical stability. It has strong corrosion resistance to most chemicals such as acids, alkalis, and salts. Compared with rubber air pipes, PVC air pipes are more suitable for use in some environments with chemical corrosion risks, such as chemical workshops, electroplating workshops, etc. Because it can work stably for a long time and is not easily damaged by corrosion.
Smooth surface
The inner surface of PVC air pipes is smoother than that of rubber air pipes. This makes the resistance of air flowing in the pipe smaller. Therefore, it can improve the air delivery efficiency and reduce energy consumption. At the same time, the smooth surface is not easy to absorb dust and impurities, which is easy to clean and maintain. Therefore, the possibility of affecting air quality or causing pipe blockage due to internal pollution in the pipe is reduced.
Higher hardness
PVC air pipes have a higher hardness than rubber air pipes. Therefore, they have better rigidity and pressure resistance. During use, PVC air pipes can better maintain their shape. They are not easily deformed by external pressure, and are especially suitable for some occasions that require overhead laying.
Good insulation performance
PVC is a good insulating material with high electrical insulation performance. This allows PVC air pipes to provide additional safety when used in some environments with high electrical safety requirements. At the same time, it reduces safety hazards caused by static electricity accumulation or electrical failures.
