Materials

All around the globe, companies strive to use products and solutions that meet the growing environmental demands. Plastics combine material properties which enable ecological and cost-efficient performance, thus complying with the requirements of business in terms of sustainability

• Long lifetime
• Recyclability
• Cost-effective thanks to long system life cycle
• Low net weight
• Greater pump efficiency thanks to steady flow rate
• Corrosion resistance and no incrustation
• Low thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity
• Significantly lower carbon dioxide emissions across all processes, hence more favorable CO2 and water balance compared to metal solutions
  

Our plastic pipes deliver real added value compared to alternative materials. A striking example of this is the CO2 footprint of a PE pipe, DN80, measuring one meter in length. The sum of all the greenhouse gases emitted to the atmosphere in the course of processes, materials extraction, materials processing, manufacturing, transport, use and recycling is approximately five times lower for a plastic pipe than for a stainless steel pipe. This was confirmed in a study of the ecological footprint of various piping materials.
