All materials and products have some effect on the environment. As a result society must take balanced approach and carefully weigh the environmental impact against the benefits that are derived from a particular material or product.

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.
  UPVC / RPVC
PVC is produced from ethylene by interacting with chlorine gas (obtained from electrolysis of sodium salt inexhaustibly available in nature) to produce another gas known as vinyl chloride monomer.

  CPVC
CPVC or Chlorinated Poly Vinyl Chloride is produced by chlorination of poly vinyl chloride (PVC) resin. In the process, the chlorine gas is decomposed into free chlorine which is then reacted with PVC.

  Polyethylene
Polyethylene is also produced from ethylene by way of polymerization. It consists only of carbon and hydrogen (hydrocarbons) and is also referred as polyolefin.

Ori-Past also deals with flexible (plasticized) PVC for manufacturing PVC Hoses and LLDPE (low linear density polyethylene) for manufacturing of vertical Water Storage Tanks.
