PE100

SIMONA® PE 100 AP-Line plastics pipes and fittings with integrated wear-resistant interior skin are an excellent choice for pneumatic and hydraulic transport of solid waste. Thanks to their superior properties, they are used wherever high mechanical loads act on the interior of the piping systems.

During hydraulic and pneumatic transport of solid materials the pipe interiors are subjected to substantial mechanical stresses caused by water/air-solid mixtures that leave material deposits on the interior of the pipe during transport.

SIMONA® PE 100 AP-Line Pipes have a much longer service life and can withstand greater loads than solid wall PE 100 and conventional steel and GFRP pipes. They are therefore especially suitable for conveying granular materials like sand and coal sludge or ores.

ProFuse® is a technologically advanced PE100 peelable pipe innovation offering a high performance solution with optimum joint integrity, damage protection and reduced installation time and costs savings.

Manufactured from a black PE100 core, Radius ProFuse® has been designed with a unique polypropylene peelable skin, which is applied to the core pipe during the manufacturing process using melt on melt technology. The skin offers excellent abrasion resistance and protects the pipe during handling, transportation, installation, reinstatement and is easily removed using the pipe exposure tool (PET), revealing a pristine pipe surface ready to be joined using electrofusion or butt-fusion welding techniques.

Alongside its outstanding processability, polyethylene (PE) displays good chemical resistance and offers strength and rigidity within a temperature range of between – 40 °C and + 80 °C. Due to the inclusion of soot particles, PE is resistant to UV light and therefore also suitable for long-term outdoor applications.
