MOLECOR PVC-O PIPE PIPING SYSTEM ADVANTAGES AND PROPERTIES

Molecor PVC-O pipes are the most advanced pipes for the conveyance of high-pressure water currently available on the market, with a number of exceptional features for this kind of application, thanks to the process of Molecular Orientation.

PVC is essentially an amorphous polymer in which the molecules are located randomly. However, under certain conditions of pressure, temperature and speed, by stretching the material, it is possible to orient the polymer molecules in the same direction as which the material has been stretched. Depending on the process parameters used and mostly stretch ratio, a higher or lower orientation degree will be obtained. The result is a plastic with a layered structure which layers can be seen at a glance.

The process of Molecular Orientation greatly enhances PVCs physical and mechanical properties and gives it a number of exceptional features, without altering the advantages and properties of the original polymer. Thereby it is obtained a plastic with unbeatable qualities in terms of resistance to tracti on and fatigue enitility and impact resistance. When used in high-pressure water pipelines this type of piping has a high resistance and an extremely long lifetime. Moreover, the pipe is highly energy-efficient and eco-friendly not only for the way it is made but also because of its subsequent use. Other advantages include reductions in costs and installation times. For all these reasons, Molecor PVC-O pipes are the best solution for medium and high pressure water networks for irrigation systems, potable water supply, fire extinguishing networks and pumping systems, among other applications.

TOM® PVC-O pipes have been developed by MOLECOR© , the only company in the world conceived and dedicated entirely to researching and manufacturing PVC-O pipes. Our manufacturing process is absolutely innovative and uses the most advanced and most reliable technologies currently available. Up until now, although PVC-O pipes are recognized as providing the highest specifications, the technical limitations of the different manufacturing processes and the shortcomings of those processes in terms of efficiency were a barrier to the extensive use of this kind of pipes. The technology developed by MOLECOR© means that these limitations have now been overcome and it has also helped to make considerable improvements in TOM® pipes.

• Molecular Orientation is achieved by applying the precise and homogenous distribution of temperature and high pressures (up to 35 bars) thanks to quality control check.
