PVC U, PVC C, ABS Pipes & Fittings

PVC-U (UNPLASTICIZED POLYVINYL CHLORIDE)

PVC-U Series of fittings designed for conveying fluids under pressure with a cold chemical weld jointing system (solvent welding) using a suitable solvent cement and cleaner-primer.

PVC-U MAIN PROPERTIES AND CHARACTERISTICS:

Good chemical resistance: PVC-U resins guarantee excellent chemical resistance with regard to most acids and alkalis, aliphatic hydrocarbons and saline solutions. PVC-U resins are also totally compatible for the handling of food grade fluids, treated and untreated drinking water, as well as demineralised water according to current national and international standards.
Good thermal stability: Mostly in the intermediate temperature range between 20°C and 50°C, PVC-U finds its ideal application in industrial and water supplies, assuring optimal performance in terms of mechanical resistance, good rigidity, low coefficients of thermal expansion and optimal safety factors in service.
Lifetime: U-PVC resins feature is a high value in the material strength (Minimum Required Strength MRS = 25.0 Mpa at 20°C) and an extremely extended lifetime.

Supply Range:

Full series of fittings for socket solvent cement welding from Ø 16 to Ø 400
Threaded & Solvent well BPS Adaptor fitting Ø 16 x3/8″ to Ø 110 x 4″
Pressure Rated PN16 – PN4

PVC-C (CHLORINATED POLYVINYL CHLORIDE)

PVC-C Series of fittings designed for conveying fluids under pressure with a cold chemical weld jointing system (solvent welding) using a suitable solvent cement and cleaner – primer.

PVC-C MAIN PROPERTIES AND CHARACTERISTICS:

High chemical resistance: the use of CORZAN™ resins, obtained from processes of post-chlorination of homopolymer PVC is a guarantee of high chemical resistance, especially to strong inorganic acids, bases and alkaline solutions, besides the optimal mechanical properties remain unchanged during the transfer of hot industrial fluids. CORZAN™ resins offer total compatibility also for the transfer of treated and untreated drinking water as well as demineralised water and spa water for therapeutic and Kino therapeutic applications.
Optimal thermal stability: above all in the intermediate temperature range from 5°C to 85 °C C-PVC is ideal for industrial applications, guaranteeing optimal mechanical resistance, good rigidity, very low coefficients of thermal expansion and optimal safety factors in service.
Resistance to fire: CORZAN™ C-PVC resins guarantee excellent resistance to fire, thanks to a flame onset temperature of 482°C and a high limit of oxygen index LOI = 60%. CORZAN™ C-PVC resins are classified VO, 5VB e 5VA to UL94.
Lifetime: CORZAN™ C-PVC resins feature a high value in the circumferential breaking strength (Minimum Required Strength MRS = 25.0 MPa at 20°C) and ensure extremely extended lifetime of installations, without signs of significant mechanical or physical deterioration.

Supply Range:

Full series of Pipes & fittings for socket solvent cement welding from Ø 16mm to Ø 225mm
Threaded & Solvent well BPS Adaptor fitting Ø 16mm x 3/8″ to Ø 63mm x 2″
Pressure Rated PN16-PN10

ACRYLONITRILE BUTADIENE STYRENE (ABS)

ABS Series of fittings designed for conveying fluids under pressure with a cold chemical weld jointing system (solvent welding) using a suitable solvent cement and cleaner primer.

ABS Main Properties & characteristics:

ABS combines numerous performance and economic benefits which make it the ideal solution when there is a requirement for a pipe system to transport fluids at pressure. ABS is a copolymer of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, blended, to give unrivalled properties and benefits over traditional pipework materials such as copper or steel. Acrylonitrile imparts chemical resistance ensuring the pipework does not corrode or scale. The Butadiene content endows the material with impact strength and toughness, particularly at low temperatures, while the Styrene content contributes to lustre, hence the extremely smooth bores, and ensures the strength of the material.
ABS provides a wide temperature range between -40°C to 70°C and the system remains extremely ductile.
Furthermore, ABS is extremely lightweight and is much easier to handle on-site than traditional materials especially during installation which can significantly reduce both time and cost.

Supply Range:

Full series of fittings from Ø 3/8” to Ø 8” (Imperial)
Full series of fittings from Ø 16mm to Ø 315mm (Metric)
Pressure Rated PN16 – PN4
