Technology
Tradionally in the Middle East, soil and drain PVC pipes are extruded as a single solid monolayer during the manufacturing process. Technocore pipes are manufactures by a more complex production process and are composed of three distinct layers. this innovative technique produces pipes with improved performance properties whilst reducing the total material content.
Technology is proven Hepworth’s Technocore technology was developed together with the Wavin Group, based in the Netherlands, one of the world’s leaders in PVC multilayer plastic pipe technology. Although this technology is new to the Middle East region, it has a solid track record and has been specified and used in Europe for over 25 years. Indeed, in Europe, the majority of PVC soil and drainage pipes are now manufactures using this technology. PVC multilayer plastics pipes are also widely accepted in North America, Australia, South Africa and many other countries around the world because of their superior performance and environmental advantages.
Technology is Green
Multilayer pipe technology was originally developed to improve the performance of pipes and to help the construction industry to achieve a lower carbon footprint, leading to a more sustainable world. There is a growing demand fromgovernments, agencies and legislative bodies for greener products, i.e. those that require less energy and use fewer natural resources. Our new technocore technology, which reduces the usage of carbon during manufacturing, helps our customers meet increasingly tough new regulations and their own sustainability commitments.
