Profiles and pipes

Profiles and pipes made from rigid PVC are commonly used in the construction industry. Rigid PVC is very notch-sensitive.

For underground pipes or internal cable ducts, Baymod^® A 52 can be used to make the material highly impact resistant, even at low temperatures.

Blowing agents help to save on materials and reduce weight. The core of the pipe is expanded with products from the *Genitron^® EP or Porofor^® ADC/M-C1 ranges, while a second extrusion unit is used to co-extrude the inner and outer skin without the use of blowing agents. This produces a compact inner and outer skin that is absolutely smooth and leakproof and an expanded core that cuts down on weight and materials.

The Celuka method produces expanded profiles (not pipes) from a single extrusion line with no co-extrusion. In this case the inner and outer skin is still compact because the production process involves very rapid cooling of the skin, preventing it from expanding.
