PP / RIGID PVC / FRP EXHAUST DUCTING & CANOPY HOODS WITH DAMPER
Manufactured by Plastic Fabricators
Efficient industrial ventilation begins with a well-designed ducting system. Whether the application involves chemical processing, laboratory exhaust, electroplating, pharmaceutical manufacturing, or acid handling, contaminated air must be safely collected and transported from its source to the blower, scrubber, or exhaust stack without leakage or corrosion. Plastic Fabricators manufactures PP, Rigid PVC, and FRP Exhaust Ducting Systems with Canopy Hoods and Dampers for industries that operate in corrosive environments. Designed to withstand continuous exposure to acids, alkalis, and chemical vapours, our ducting systems provide reliable airflow while maintaining long-term structural integrity.
The ducting is fabricated using 3 mm and 5 mm thick Polypropylene (PP) or Rigid PVC sheets, externally reinforced with FRP (Fibreglass Reinforced Plastic) for additional mechanical strength. The result is a lightweight, leak-proof, corrosion-resistant system suitable for continuous industrial operation at temperatures up to 110°C.
TECHNICAL DATA
WHAT ARE PP / RIGID PVC / FRP DUCTING SYSTEMS?
Industrial Exhaust Ductwork refers to a system of ductwork, fittings, canopy hoods, dampers and accessories that safely carries polluted air from the place of emission to the exhaust blower, scrubber or chimney.
The difference between traditional galvanized or mild steel ductwork and PP, Rigid PVC, and FRP ductwork is that PP, Rigid PVC, and FRP ducting systems have been designed to handle corrosive materials. They resist corrosion making them the best choice when dealing with acid fumes, alkaline vapor, solvent exhaust and other aggressive process gases that will eat up conventional metal ducting.
We manufacture complete ducting systems that consist of straight ducting, bends, reducers, branchings, canopy hoods, dampers, expansion joints, flanges and special fittings. Each system is fabricated to match customer process layout, airflow needs and installation conditions.
Why Industries Choose Our Ducting Systems
COMPLETE PRODUCT RANGE
WHY MATERIAL SELECTION IS IMPORTANT
Ducting systems in industrial environments face constant exposure to aggressive chemicals, high temperatures, and moisture. Choosing the wrong material may cause corrosion, leakage, higher maintenance, and even early replacement.
PP, Rigid PVC, and FRP all have their unique qualities when used in various processes. Using corrosion-resistant thermoplastics along with FRP in ducting systems provides the customer with a strong solution.
OUR DUCTING & CANOPY HOOD SYSTEMS
It is essential to have a well-designed exhaust system which consists of not only ducts but also components such as the canopy hood for fume collection and damper for controlling air flow.
We offer complete PP, Rigid PVC, and FRP ducting systems, suitable for corrosive environments, which are designed as per the process layout, airflow requirement, chemical resistance and installation space. Whatever may be the purpose whether it is for laboratory, electroplating lines, chemical reactors, pickling tanks, pharmaceutical processing rooms or any type of scrubber system, we design and fabricate complete ducting systems which work along with the blowers, scrubbers, chimneys and other ventilation equipment. Our ducting systems are fabricated using 3 mm and 5 mm thick PP and Rigid PVC sheet, reinforced by FRP from outside.
Built for Reliable Industrial Performance
Every ducting system is Each ducting unit is engineered to deliver reliable airflow without being susceptible to corrosion in an industrial environment. to provide dependable airflow while resisting corrosion in demanding industrial environments.
PP / Rigid PVC Construction
The internal surface of the pipe consists of Polypropylene or Rigid PVC which is used frequently to transport the gases generated through industrial processes that are corrosive in nature.
Such materials have high resistance to many:
- Acid fumes
- Alkali fumes
- Corrosive gases
- Moisture-laden chemicals
External FRP Reinforcement
The thermoplastic duct is reinforced on its outside surface using Fibreglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP).
This provides:
- Better mechanical strength
- Increased stiffness of structure
- Longer life expectancy
- Increased durability for industrial purposes
The combination of PP/PVC and FRP forms a light and sturdy ducting system.
Leak-Proof Fabrication
Ducts and duct fittings are manufactured with proper joints and flanges to avoid air leakages.
Benefits include:
- Efficient air flow
- Improved performance of the system
- Prevention of fume leakage
- Better work environment
Smooth Internal Surface
A smooth interior of the duct makes it possible to reduce the resistance of air flow and prevent dust or chemical build-up in the duct.
Advantages:
- Air flow efficiency
- Pressure loss reduction
- Easy to clean
- Low maintenance
Temperature Resistance
Depending on materials and process conditions, the ducting system is able to work at temperatures up to about 110°C.

Designed for Corrosive Industrial Applications
WHY PP / PVC / FRP DUCTING OUTPERFORMS METAL DUCTING
In most industrial applications, typical galvanized steel ducts or even mild steel ducts are subjected to corrosive gases on a daily basis. Chemical attacks can cause rusting, leakage, lower air flow, and higher maintenance costs.
The PP, Rigid PVC, and FRP duct systems are chosen for this harsh environment since they have an inherent ability to resist many types of chemicals.
Corrosion Resistance
Thermoplastic materials resist many:
- Acid gases
- Alkaline fumes
- Corrosive gases
- Damp air from processes
- Exhaust chemical fumes
This makes them well suited for chemical processing industries where conventional metallic ductwork may require frequent repairs or replacement.
Lightweight Construction
Compared with fabricated steel ducting, PP and PVC systems are significantly lighter.
Benefits include:
- Easy transport
- Quick installation
- Minimal structural loading
- Easy maintenance
Smooth Airflow
The smooth inner surface results in lower frictional loss and facilitates proper air flow through the exhaust system.
This contributes to:
- Pressure drop reduction
- Improvement in blower efficiency
- Lower dust accumulation
- Ease of cleaning
Long Service Life
The combination of plastic ducting material and reinforcement in the form of FRP ensures reliable service for a long period.
