The three most important raw materials being used by Ori-Plast to produce pipes and fittings are PVC (poly vinyl chloride), CPVC (Chlorinated Poly Vinyl Chloride) and PE (Polyethylene, High and Medium Density), all of which are classified as thermoplastic material, meaning that they can be melted to a liquid and remolded as they return to solid state.
All these materials are produced from crude benzene which is obtained as a by-product during distillation of petroleum. Crude benzene is broken down in a heat cracking process into various hydrocarbons including ethylene which is a colour less gas comprising carbon and hydrogen.
