Water/Wastewater
Performance plastics have been instrumental in reclaiming wastewater into safe water for more than seven decades. Plastics are also being put to work anywhere there’s a need for durable, long-lasting, maintenancefree water transport systems.
Materials
- Acetal (POM)
- Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS)
- Cast Nylon (PA)
- Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC)
- Ethylene-Chlorotrifluoroethylene (ECTFE)
- Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate (EVA)
- High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
- Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE)
Applications For Waste/Wastewater
- Potable water systems (valve and pump components)
- Irrigation systems (bearings, nozzles, pivot bushings)
- Aquaculture
- Specialized chemical delivery systems
- Reclamation process piping
- Sprinkler/water aeration systems
- Hot and cold water distribution systems
- Plumbing pipes and fittings
Benefits
- Lightweight
- Impact resistant
- Weather resistant
- Chemical and corrosion resistant
- Easy to fabricate
- Excellent weather ability
- Quieter than metal pipes (no “water hammer”)
- Easy and safer to install
- Low maintenance
- Easy to weld, install and operate
