"Maximum durability at lower cost"

State-of-the-Art Pipes


Plastic materials are spreading fast in all aspects of everyday life. The excellent mechanical, chemical and physical properties of the new polymers are a guarantee of success in all kinds of applications.

The 80's marked the start of an exponential spread of plastic materials in the piping industry. They are currently used for intake and outtake pipes, as well as for heating and conditioning installations, thanks to a growing acceptance from clients.

PROTECNAVI installs polypropylene random copolymer pipes and accessories with a high quality and reliability that guarantee optimal service life, safety and energy saving levels in all fields of application, both in industrial and building areas.


Characteristics


These last years have witnessed a constant evolution in thermoplastic materials.

Today, thermoplastic piping systems can solve some of the problems posed by metal systems, increasing the installation's service life.


Limited condensation and thermal dispersion

Requires less anti-condensation and thermal insulation thickness, saving costs

No corrosion

No surface protection required Corrosive fluid transport

Less internal surface roughness

Less fouling. In some cases, less diameter required

Abrasion resistance

Allows water circulation at high speeds without erosion issues

Ice resistance

Pipes increase their width with volume modifications due to fluid freezing

High resistance to chemical agents

Suitable for almost any level of water hardness. Resistant to chemicals with pH ranging from 1 to 14

Parasitic current resistance

No risk of puncturing due to environmental parasitic currents

Lower installation noise levels

High acoustic insulation and acoustic absorption capabilities, dampening sound effects

Shorter installation times

Heat welding systems require shorter assembly and loading times

Legionella treatment

Fully compatible with statutory legionella treatment methods

Completely environment-friendly and free of halogens

Recyclable. The absence of halogens improves its safety against fire

Energy saving

Its lower thermal conductivity improves SHW, HVAC and heating efficiency

Impact resistance

Excellent performance in resistance tests, both for profiles and joints

Less expansion

Features a visibly lower linear expansion allowing a larger fluid flow
