Plastic pipes have also been widely used in construction over the last decade. Plastic pipes are being substituted for copper pipes in commercial and residential buildings. China currently produces PVC, PE, PP and polybutylene pipes. In the past decade, many Chinese plastic pipe producers have imported advanced technology and equipment from foreign countries. The entire production line of polybutylene pipe was imported. China also imported over 100 PVC pipe production lines. PVC pipe is the dominant type of pipe used in the Chinese construction markets. In recent years, ABS and HDPE hot-water pipe and HDPE gas pipe have enjoyed rapid growth as well. 

In simplified Chinese, provides in-depth, yet practical analysis of the use of different resins, compounds and additives, including formulation, testing, R D, physical and chemical properties, preparation for processing and applications. The editors work with strategic editorial partners such as Kunststoffe of Germany and Plastics Technology of the USA, with active input from an editorial advisory board in China and abroad, to provide coverage of developments in products and applications worldwide of relevance and practical value to users in China. The latest industry news and profiles of key people in the industry are also included.
