AKU®-DUR PVC-U PRESSURE PIPES, Transparent Pipes

Polyvinyl chloride is flame-retardant, chemically exceptionally resistant, and has a low tendency to stress cracking.
It possesses high strength, stiffness, and hardness.
The continuous operating temperature of PVC-U is between -15°C and approx. +60°C.
The pipes are plasticizer-free and can be bonded or welded.

Transparent PVC-U pressure pipes are pipes made from the polymer PVC-U (polyvinyl chloride) and feature a transparent surface or material.

They are characterized by their high strength, pressure resistance and chemical resistance.

PVC-U pressure pipes are specially designed for applications where visual inspection of the flow is required, such as in water supply, wastewater disposal, the chemical industry and laboratory facilities.

Thanks to their transparency, they allow easy monitoring of the fluid flow and at the same time offer the proven properties of PVC-U pipes such as durability, corrosion resistance and easy installation.

Polyvinyl chloride-Unplasticized (PVC-U) is a form of polyvinyl chloride that is manufactured without the addition of plasticizers or other plasticizing substances.

Properties of PVC-U:

Hardness and rigidity:
PVC-U is characterized by its high hardness and rigidity. These properties make it particularly suitable for applications where structural integrity and strength are required.

  • Chemical resistance:
    PVC-U is largely resistant to many chemicals, which makes it suitable for use in various industrial environments. It is particularly resistant to acids, alkalis and other aggressive substances.
  • Temperature Resistance:
    PVC-U maintains its mechanical properties even at higher temperatures, making it suitable for applications in various temperature ranges.
  • Electrical Insulation:
    PVC-U exhibits good electrical insulation properties, making it suitable for applications in the electrical industry, particularly for cable insulation.
  • Flame Resistance:
    PVC-U is intrinsically flame-retardant and can be classified in various fire classes, making it suitable for certain fire protection applications.
  • Workability:
    PVC-U can be formed using various processing methods such as extrusion, injection molding and calendering. This enables the manufacture of a variety of products for different applications.
  • Applications:
    PVC-U is frequently used in construction for pipes, window profiles, doors, and other building elements. It is also used in the chemical industry, water supply, electrical industry and other technical applications.

The exact properties of PVC-U may vary depending on the manufacturer and formulation.
It is therefore advisable to refer to the specific technical data sheets and recommendations in order to select the right PVC-U product for a particular application.
