Over the last 50 years, plastic pipes have gained popularity and are today the preferred material in many countries.
Plastic pipe systems offer the best possible solution for conveying valuable drinking water, both when it comes to avoiding water loss (leaking inside out) and when it comes to protecting the water quality from potential pollution (leaking outside in). Furthermore, plastic pipe systems combine the advantages of longevity and durability with ease of installation and handling to offer a long-term cost-effective solution. |

Plastic sewer pipe systems offer a durable leak-free solution to the transport of wastewater. Their flexibility allows them to adjust to inevitable ground movements, thereby reducing the risk of leakage. The flow properties inherent in the physical design and structure of these systems ensure the design of almost maintenance free sewers. Plastic pipes are therefore widely used for demanding applications such as gravity or pressured sewer mains, pipeline rehabilitation, split storm and sanitary sewer lines, sludge lines and vacuum systems. |

All the major gas companies in Europe use plastic pipe systems. They are the safest and most economical solution for the modern distribution of gas.
Mostly used are the different grades of PE, which have excellent properties regarding flexibility, resistance against chemicals, and good resistance to cracking. |
 |
Flexible plastic pipes are widely used by the plumbing industry within the home and in buildings for the supply of hot and cold water. They are easy and economical to install and maintain. |
 |
Since the 1960’s, plastic soil and waste systems have provided silent disposal of wastewater. In Europe, these systems are almost exclusively used for the building and renovation of homes and residential properties. |
 |
Plastic pipe systems are perfect for floor heating, radiator heating applications and other heating and cooling applications.
An increasing variety of heating and cooling installations allow people to live and work in a comfortable temperature, irrespective of weather and climate conditions. Plastic pipes play a central role in many heating and cooling applications.
Plastic pipes are easy to install and their thermal properties lend themselves perfectly to the purposes of radiator and underfloor heating and ceiling cooling. |
 |
Major telecom and cable companies use plastic pipes as the common solution for protecting buried cables. They save significant investment costs and public inconvenience since they can be replaced or added without disruptive local excavation. |
 |
Plastic pipes play an essential role in many manufacturing and industrial processes. They are therefore used in a variety of industrial applications where special properties are required e.g. high purity processes or very corrosive environments. |
 |
Water scarcity and extreme rainfall have recently highlighted the use of plastic pipe systems for efficient irrigation and land drainage purposes. Drip irrigation delivers exactly the right amount of water for crops and horticulture. |
