Resistance to Corrosion:
uPVC pipes and fittings exhibit excellent resistance to aggressive environments both naturally occurring and as a result of industrial activity. They are resistant to almost all types of corrosion, either chemical or electrochemical in nature. Since uPVC is a non-conductor, galvanic and electrochemical effects do not occur in uPVC pipes.

Due to its non-metallic nature, the material used is totally resistant to all forms of metallic corrosion.

Aggressive water resulting from high sulphate soils and low hardness of water will not attack uPVC pipes. Our pipes are therefore resistant to a wide range of industrial waters and chemicals and can offer an advantage in the long-term systems life and manufacture costs.

Naturally non-toxic:
Being made of a tasteless and odourless material, uPVC pipes remain neutral to all transported fluids.

Low Flow Losses:
Because of their mirror-smooth inside surface, uPVC pipes have minimum flow head loss. There is also no build-up of inside deposits, a particular advantage in the construction of sewerage systems.

Weather Resistance:
The physical properties of uPVC pipes are not affected by either direct sunshine, nor wind or rain.However, to avoid surface browning due to long exposure to direct sunlight, it is recommended that the pipes are kept protected from direct sunlight.

Fire Proofness:
Rigid PVC is not conductive to combustion. In the event of a fire, flames are unable to travel on uPVC pipes. They therefore offer added safety when used for electrical installations, both domestic and industrial.

Light Weight:
uPVC pipes are relatively light. Their specific weight 1.43 is one-fifth (1/5) that of steel pipes. This cuts down transportation costs and facilitates installation when in difficult and remote places.

Easy Installation:
Installation is quick and easy with a complete line of fittings either with the solvent glue weld sockets or the rubber seal socket joints. In either case, a leakproof joint is assured. Subsequent maintenance work is also carried out with a minimum of complication and cost.
