Extrusion International USA 4-2021

43 Extrusion International 4/2021 ecoFITTOM ® fittings in accor- dance with the Recommendation 179 / 2013CE proposed by the Eu- ropean Commission for the cal- culation of environmental foot- prints. It is thus proven that the environmental impact they show, not only in global warming, but in other environmental impacts such as the destruction of the ozone layer, is also lower than other ma- terials. In this way, among the dif- ferent environmental advantages that Oriented PVC presents in all phases of its life cycle we can find greater efficiency in terms of the use of natural resources. Likewise, the quality of TOM ® Pipes and ecoFITTOM ® PVC-O Fit- tings is evidenced by the AENOR N Mark recognition, which has granted the corresponding prod- uct certificates. TOM ® PVC-O pipes have been certified accord- ing to the UNE-EN 17176 stan- dard and ecoFITTOM ® PVC-O fit- tings according to the UNE-CEN/ TS 17176-3: 2019 standard. TOM ® Pipes are certified in more than 10 countries, and have been awarded on different occasions for their high quality, efficiency, as well as for the technical inno- vation they have brought to the market. TOM ® PVC-O pipes are also a product guaranteed for 50 years. The choice of TOM ® pipe: diameters and pressures The projection of hydraulic net- works is carried out worldwide and it is increasingly common for TOM ® PVC-O pipe to be the ma- terial chosen for their execution, thanks to the wide range of ad- vantages it offers for all the play- ers involved in the sector, from the promoter to the end user. The market shows great interest in Oriented PVC pipes as an al- ternative to traditional solutions, thus meeting the current needs for the application of plastic ma- terials as an efficient alternative in large pressurized water pipe- lines, being the best technical and economic proposal for network design. The choice of the product to be used must be considered taking into account several parameters such as the durability of the in- stallation, the hydraulic capacity, the ease of installation, the op- erational efficiency or the main- tenance costs, all of them charac- teristics well covered by the TOM ® pipes and ecoFITOM ® fittings be- coming the best solution for the transport of pressurized water. Thanks to its exclusive Genuine Air System, Molecor produces Class 500 pipes and fittings in Oriented PVC, offering the market com- prehensive solutions in PVC-O, highly effective, sustainable and with a long-life expectancy. With the development of technology for the manufacture of pipes up to DN1200 mm, PVC-O becomes part of the materials that can be used to undertake large-diam- eter works, offering the market the widest range of PVC-O pipes in a wide variety of nominal pres- sures. Molecor is a pioneer in the manu- facture of large diameters. The technology developed by the company made it possible to manufacture pipes with nominal diameters of DN500 mm, DN630 mm, DN710 mm and DN800 mm, non-existent in the world market for PVC-O pipes, and which have been turning points in the sector, since their manufacture was un- thinkable until the appearance of the Molecor technology. TOM ® PVC-O pipes are manufac- tured in a wide range of nominal pressures (12.5, 16, 20 and 25 bar) and diameters (90 to 1200 mm), and ecoFITTOM ® PVC-O fittings are manufactured in PN16 bar and nominal diameters of 110, 160, 200, 250, 315 and 400 mm.
