THE TRUTH ABOUT CORROSION
The following
articles, all recently published by the National Association of Corrosion
Engineers (NACE International), in their
publication Materials
Performance, shed light on facts about the "plague" responsible for
the rapid deterioration of our infrastructure: CORROSION. Copyright NACE

" PVC is
a pipe material that is clean, safe, easier and cheaper to install, and
is completely immune to corrosion. Today, PVC pipes account for over 70 percent
of the new buried water distribution pipes being installed throughout the
U.S. and Canada; for sanitary collection sewers, PVC pipes comprise over
75 percent of all new installations, according to a recent analysis of the
buried pipe markets in both Canada and the U.S. Moreover, PVC pipe products
satisfy sustainability issues with regard to recycle ability and resource
conservation. PVC pipes are completely recyclable and consume less energy
to produce than alternative pipes. PVC pipe products have and will continue
to change the dynamics of how utilities are able to address pipe infrastructure
management and sustainability for the future."
