First of all, IIRC. luke's not in China itself. But I don't know for certain. Second, what's a stabilizer? It seems to me that plastic and metal don't mix, but I don't have more then a rudimentary understanding of polymers. I'd think that if they worked well together then we'd have aluminum/plastic pipe; a stronger pipe then plastic, but with the flexibility of plastic.
