PAP pipe of G.StAR is made of PE/PEX/PPR, aluminum. It’s smooth, high temperature resistance, environment-friendly non-toxic. The middle aluminum layer can isolate air totally. The pipe has characteristics of both the aluminum pipe and plastic pipe, so it can get rid of weakness of the both respectively and have a long service life up to 50 or more years.

Thanks to excellent resistance to high temperature, PE-X pipes became interesting for thermo-sanitary applications many years ago, and have been established for these applications for over 35 years. Wherever hot water is used, PE-X is the solution for all classes of hot water application, including the UK Class S with a higher boiler malfunction temperature. PE-X is the only plastics material that covers the whole temperature range with excellent low temperature toughness, and is the only plastics material that can be used for gas supply systems in a temperature range of -50 ˚C to +60 ˚C in accordance with ISO 14531.

One example of Novelis’ innovative strength is The New Aluminium, Novelis FUSION TM, which is certainly one of the most important innovations in aluminium processing in the past 60 year s. Differing aluminium alloys are cast into one ingot: This opens up completely new perspectives for future designs as ideal combinations of alloy properties are now possible. Novelis supplies compound tube coils according to customer`s specific requirements. Mechanical properties are determined depending on the use and processing of the material. The ideal material NOVALTUBE™ has been developed to meet excellent processing properties as, Good corrosion resistance, High stability and flexibility, Good welding properties, Great adhesive strength for plastic extrusion and High pressure resistance. NOVALTUBE™ ensures that the compound tubes remain stable in shape, both when bent as well as when straight; this facilitates their installation.

THE Machines SA, Yvonand Switzerland, has developed a series of Laser welding machines with which is possible to weld powder-, lack- or polymer coated thin wall metal stripes and foils. Prior welding the coating has not to be removed. The machines working fully automatic and can be delivered as stand alone units or they can be incorporated in continuous working production plants.
KWD-globalpipe, 2009-11-21. (PEX, PE-RT and multilayer pipes) Rofix, an international group of companies, has set new standards for fastening technology in the plumbing and heating industry. The company was founded 25 years ago and has since emerged as a leader in radiator and pipe hangers and struts. The company employs 200 workers in 4 factories, two of which in Belgium, and one each in Poland and China. Located in Dilsen, Belgium, the sales headquarters serves their various sales organizations in Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Austria, France, Poland, Greece and the United States.

In Blansol Multipex Pipes (’alupex‘), both the inner and outer layers are made of cross-linked polyethylene (PEX). This improves their behaviour in comparison with non-cross-linked multilayer pipes. PEX is the ideal material for multilayer pipes working in applications where high temperatures are required (up to 95°C), such as the connection of radiators in heating applications.
Blansol PEX/AL/PEX multilayer (’alupex’) pipes have superior performance with regard to connection viability. Multilayer pipes based on cross-linked polyethylene (PEX/AL/PEX), ensure that the compression force at the union is maintained even at high temperatures (over 95°C). Other polyethylenes which are not cross-linked, melt at these high temperatures, so the wall-thickness of the pipe becomes thinner, reducing the compression force of the union with an increased risk of leakage.
Butt-Welded Aluminium
Blansol Multipex pipes have their aluminium layer butt-welded. This improves their resistance to both internal pressure and to the stress generated when the pipes are bent during installation. In the butt-welded multilayer pipes, the welding line of the aluminium layer is the strongest point of the layer.
