📌Why are PVC pipes considered the first choice for Saudi projects?
Since entering the Saudi market, PVC pipes have proven their superiority in many applications.
Thanks to the continuous development of manufacturing technologies, these pipes have become the ideal solution for infrastructure projects and complex industrial applications.
Therefore, Fabco Plastic Factory, with its experience since 1975, offers a comprehensive range of PVC pipes that meet the highest international standards and comply with the requirements of the Saudi market.
❓ What are PVC pipes, and what is their importance?
PVC pipes are pipes made of polyethylene or polypropylene, which are among the most widely used plastic materials in the world due to their unique properties:
Basic characteristics of PVC pipes:
- High chemical resistance: not affected by acids, alkalis and various chemicals.
- Exceptional durability: withstands high pressures and harsh operating conditions.
- Long shelf life: up to 50 years under the right conditions.
- Easy installation and maintenance: No complex equipment or special technologies required.
- Lightweight: reduces transportation and installation costs.
- Corrosion resistance: Does not rust over time.
✅ Types of PVC pipes offered by Fabco Plastic Factory
1. Traditional PVC pipes
The most common type is suitable for general applications such as sewerage networks and irrigation systems.
2. uPVC pipes (non-plasticised)
The difference between UPVC pipes is that UPVC pipes do not contain plasticisers, which makes them:
- More solid and heat-resistant.
- Suitable for applications requiring high-pressure resistance.
- Conforming to European and British standards.
3. CPVC (chlorinated) tubes
The difference between PVC and CPVC pipes is that CPVC pipes are characterised by:
- High heat resistance (up to 105°C).
- Suitable for hot water networks.
- Advanced industrial uses.

💡 Difference between PVC and PPR pipes: a comprehensive comparison
When comparing PVC pipes and PPR pipes, we find fundamental differences in several aspects:
Chemical resistance aspect:
PVC pipes have very high resistance compared to the average resistance of PPR pipes. In terms of cost, PVC pipes are considered more economical than PPR pipes, which come at a higher price.
Heat resistance:
PVC pipes can withstand temperatures up to 60°C, while PPR pipes can withstand higher temperatures up to 95°C.
Easy installation:
PVC pipes are straightforward to install compared to PPR pipes, which require more installation experience.
Life expectancy:
PVC pipes last up to 50 years, while PPR pipes last 30 to 40 years.
Finally, PVC pipes have a variety of applications, while PPR pipes focus primarily on hot water applications.
