Advanced Engineering and Pre-Fabrication

Materials Built for Chemical Resistance

PVC-U

A cost-effective, corrosion-resistant solution widely used in chemical dosing, water treatment and general process systems.

  • Excellent chemical resistance
  • Long service life with minimal maintenance
  • Strong, lightweight and easy to install

PROGEF (PP-H)

Designed for more demanding environments, PROGEF offers enhanced performance for aggressive media and elevated temperatures.

  • High chemical and temperature resistance

Safe jointing with Infrared Welding

IR fusion machines are designed for contact-free melting of the components to be fused, eliminating the risk of contamination or the pipe faces sticking to the heater. The minimal, well-defined welding bead ensures optimal flow within the fusion zone, increasing the pipe's free passage. With the IR-63 M, GF Industry and Infrastructure Flow Solutions has enhanced the proven and reliable IR fusion method with cutting-edge technology, offering higher precision, improved efficiency, and consistent installation reliability.
