Our polymers have successfully replaced copper, brass and stainless steel in domestic hot and cold water distribution for the last decades. With respect to metals, polymers have some important advantages :

  • no corrosion - withstand chlorinated water
  • no scale built up – lower surface tension
  • cost effective - lower production cost
