The building and construction industry is the nation's second largest consumer of
plastics. Only packaging creates more demand for plastic materials today. Plastics are
building a reputation for durability, aesthetics, easy handling and high performance in the
construction of all types of buildings. For example , plastic used for pipes, valves and
fittings, heavy-duty uses and decorative touches. The most common plastics used to
insulate buildings are rigid foam polyurethane, polyisocyanurate, and extruded or
expanded polystyrene,
In building construction, plastics abound in plumbing fixtures, siding, flooring,
insulation, panels, doors, windows, glazing, bathroom units, gratings, railings and a
growing list of both structural and interior or decorative uses.
For pipes, valves and fittings, plastics offer superior corrosion resistance and are
lighter, easier to install, and more cost effective than their alternatives. Impervious to
chemicals and sulfur-bearing compounds, plastic piping safely transports everything from
fresh water to salt water, and from crude oil to laboratory waste.
These qualities also have combined with plastics' high strength-to-weight ratio to
produce materials for bridge construction, including tough reinforcement rods, nonskid
surfacing and quickly installed replacement decking.
For commercial buildings that contain sensitive electronic equipment, plastics can
provide highly protective housing that does not interfere with radio frequency or
magnetic waves.
In building additions as well as new construction, plastic materials will continue
to add speed, save energy and reduce costs. With plastics, for example, bathroom fixtures
such as tubs, showers and sinks can be constructed in one piece - walls, pipes and all and then hoisted into place and attached to the building frame, producing significant
savings in construction and installation costs.
In restoration of older homes, plastics can provide the best of both worlds: the
duplication of yesterday's beauty using today's superior materials. Architectural touches
such as decorative wall, door and window moldings can be achieved that mimic marble
or hand carvings but offer the ease of care and damage resistance only plastics can
provide.
Plastics are expected to proliferate in all homes - large and small, new and
renewed - for easily installed ceiling materials with excellent acoustic, thermal and fireresistance qualities, lower-cost window frames that stand tough against the elements but
need little maintenance and durable entry doors that offer superior insulation and unique
beauty. From foundations to roofing and virtually everywhere in between, plastics
increasingly will answer the call for building materials that hold up and stand out.
Piping systems are an important part of almost all homes buildings that
use plumbing, gas and other utilities. Pipes constructed of metal or
PVC plastic are intended to withstand extreme temperatures and
changes in pressure. For this reason, the pipe threads require sealing in
order to reinforce the system and ensure proper function. PTFE tape is
one of the most effective and commonly used methods of providing an
airtight seal
