Molecor widens the
range of its pipes and
launches into the market
the new DN710 mm
Oriented PVC Pipe
Molecor, company specialized in the development of Molecular Orientation
Technology applied to the manufacture of TOM® PVC-O pipes (Oriented PVC) for
the conveyance of water under pressure, implements in its range the DN710 mm
TOM® Pipe PN12.5, PN16, PN20 & PN25 bar.
TOM® Pipes goal is to intelligently manage the
water resources using new technologies for the
design of high-pressure water pipelines.
The company increases in this way the possibilities
of networks design with diameters that guarantee
the effectiveness in the required pressure and flow;
which implies important cost savings thanks to
a revolutionary manufacturing technology that
provides efficient and environmentally friendly
systems to manufacture Oriented PVC pipes.
WMolecor develops highly efficient solutions for
the conveyance of water under pressure, in order to
provide the best technical and economical alternative
for networks design.
The molecular orientation process provides
the TOM® Pipe with exceptional mechanical and
hydraulic characteristics compared to pipelines
manufactured with other materials existing in
the market. Among these characteristics we can
highlight: its higher hydraulic capacity, enabling the
conveyance of higher volumes of water for the same
diameter; its lightness, which makes it unnecessary
the use of machinery up to big diameters, being
easier the manipulation and installation of
pipes up to DN250 mm; its better response
to water hammer due to its lower celerity and its
excellent impact resistance. The watertightness,
another characteristic of these pipes, avoids leaks
and, therefore, water losses, which would reduce the
volume of water supplied.
Applied to pressure pipelines it is achieved a pipe of a
great resistance, both mechanical and chemical, and
therefore with a very long useful life. This series of
features provide solutions oriented to optimize the
available water resources and to reduce energy costs
in water infrastructures. The pipe is manufactured in
a wide range of nominal pressures (12.5, 16, 20 and
25 bar) and diameters: from DN90 to DN800 mm.
The company already achieved an important
milestone becoming the worldwide pioneer in
the manufacturing of DN 500, 630 and 800 mm
Oriented PVC Pipes. Since its foundation and in
order to be a world reference in the development
of technology for the manufacture of pipes,
Molecor bets clearly for innovation, research and
development to provide the water supply market
with innovative solutions and to meet the challenges
that the market presents today.
TOM® Oriented PVC (PVC-O) pipe is an excellent
alternative for water distribution networks due
to its operating efficiency and low maintenance
costs. Moreover, excellent physical, mechanical and
chemical properties ensure supply reliability and
environmental protection. TOM® pipes even offer a
better environmental behaviour, presenting a lower
environmental footprint compared to pipes made of
other materials, thus contributing to a sustainable
development of the planet and optimizing the
consumption of natural resources.
