High-Performance Polymers for Fittings in Modern Pipe Systems
For decades, pipe networks and fittings have been manufactured with metal components despite well-known limitations. But the rise in popularity of chlorine-based treatments, along with elevated temperatures, has led to more oxidizing environments that shorten the service life and compromise the safety of metal-based systems. Accordingly, the plumbing industry is shifting its focus toward a significant percentage of polymeric solutions to replace and outperform conventional metal for longer-lasting, durable and safe fittings.
Syensqo's high-performance polymers for fittings are designed for reliability, longevity, and safety in a wide range of PP-R, CPVC, and PEX systems. As a global leader in the development of polymers for plumbing applications, our broad portfolio of solutions for polymeric pipe fittings provides OEMs with cost-competitive, high-performance solutions that comply with international drinking water certifications and deliver safe, potable water while limiting water losses due to leakage that plague traditional metal-based pipe systems.
