Modified PVC is similar in composition to the traditional PVC pressure pipe. The difference is that an impact modifier has been added to alter the fracture mechanism, so the material behaves in a ductile manner.
This enhanced toughness enables PVC-M to be manufactured with a thinner wall with subsequent material savings and improved hydraulic properties. The important aspect of PVC-M is that the optimum combination of strength and ductility is produced by optimising the formulation and processing conditions so that the full benefit of the modifier is achieved.
So what does Taiya PVC-M pressure pipe offer?
Taiya pressure pipes are high performance thermoplastic pipes, incorporating the advancements of modified PVC pipe technology.
Taiya provides superior characteristics over conventional un-plasticized PVC (PVC-U) pressure pipes, including higher impact resistance and ductility, reduced weight and greater hydraulic capacity.
Taiya modified PVC-M pipes do not contain any compounds based on lead, cadmium or mercury.
Applications:
Potable water supply trunk and reticulation mains
Industrial process pipelines
Effluent pipelines for pumped sewage, industrial and rural wastes
Slurry pipelines carrying abrasive and corrosive mine or quarry materials
Irrigation and turf watering systems.
