PVC Oriented, a sustainable option for the transport of drinkable water

The pipe of PVC oriented (PVC-Or) is a canalisation for the transport and distribution of waters to pressesure that, thanks to his innovative system of manufacture and to his characteristic structure laminar, uses lower quantity of prime matter and of power during his manufacture and back use. Between the most important characteristics in reference to his quality and efficiency has to stand out that it is 100% recyclable, chemically homogénea and inert, resistant to the corrosion and of long useful life. All these properties do of this type of pipes a perfect solution for the management of the resources hídricos available.

The complete estanqueidad of the unions of the tubes, thanks to the elastic board of big quality used, and to the perfect design of the glasses of the pipes TOM, developed by the Spanish company Molecor with PVC-Or, facilitates the setting of the tubes and increases the performance of installation, avoiding escapes of the water piped.

The pipe of PVC-Or is the best ally in the saving of resources hídricos. And, unlike installed networks in other materials, in which the chemical degradation can produce important escapes of the water piped, the pipes TOM are the appropriate tool for the management of the resources hídricos during generations.

The PVC-Or is a chemically inert material in front of all the chemicals of the nature, by what is possible to bury the pipes in any type of floor without running risk and without the need to put coatings of protection, with the consequent saving that supposes. Besides, as we have said previously, they avoid problems of degradation of the own material, what avoid escapes of water or the leak of substances to the interior of the same that they could alter the quality and purity of the water.

This chemical inertia of the PVC-Or also attains, that the desinfectantes that contains the water, like the dioxide of chlorine, do not attack to the inner wall of the tube, which keeps inalterada his useful life.

Thanks to that the material does not see altered chemically, remains intact and is totally immune to the corrosion. The PVC-Or is a material homogéneo, that does not carry neither coatings neither protections catódicas (that yes they could degrade and reduce the useful life of the pipe in case of detachment or bad operation).

On the contrary of what occurs with the pipes of ductile smelting, for the ones of PVC-Or does not be necessary to choose special coatings in function of the terrain where go to install , since, neither have any coating, neither suffer wear of the mortar of cement because neither they carry it. Of this form, ensures that never they produce points of corrosion that alter the quality of the water, what, in extreme cases, would suppose that they exceeded the limits established in the RD 140/2003, turning into water no apt for consumption and a problem of public health.

Is checked that in the pipes of PVC-Or does not produce any migration of the components of the driving to the water that transports, by what can ensure that the quality of the fluid remains intact permanently.

In the case of the pipes TOM of Molecor, the no migration of substances from the pipe is checked thanks to the fulfillment of the valid sanitary ware requests in Spain or France, among others.

The character excepcionalmente smooth of the inner wall of the pipes TOM favours the flow and limits the eventual deposits that could hinder it. For the transport of drinkable water, these properties are indispensable to preserve the quality of the same, since this could see altered, if the deposits incrustados went dragged by the fluid. Such deposits could arrive even, to cause failures in elements of the network, as they can be the pumps, by obturación in the mechanisms of operation. The minimum learning of deposits in the pipes of PVC-Or does that the inner diameter do not see reduced and, of this form, ensures the maintenance of the discharge of the fluid for which the pipe has been designed during all his useful life.

It is necessary to take into account also that the process of molecular orientation patented worldwide by Molecor produces a very significant increase of the hydraulics capacity with regard to pipes manufactured with other processes or material.

Another question to take into account, is that the pipes TOM of PVC-Or are 100% recyclable, by what after having finished his ‘cycle of useful life', the material can be recycled and reutilizado in other applications. Of this form, reduces the consumption of raw materials and also the volume of waste generated, with what contributes of form more positive in the correct sustainable development of the planet.
