Over time, the effects of the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) radiation can degrade plastic. Designed for use in high temperatures and ideal for above ground installations, our PE100 pipe is manufactured with a highly reflective white external skin which significantly reduces heat absorption. During manufacture the white outer layer is coextruded with the inner black pipe wall and forms an integral part of the pipe. Extensive testing has proved that heat absorption is greatly reduced, whilst maintaining UV stability, compared to standard black PE pipe under the same conditions. As with all the pipe in our range, our Solabloc pipe range is manufactured to meet or exceed the specifications of AS/NZS 4130: PE Pipes for Pressure Applications.
DAMOS manufacture and supply co-extruded HDPE pipe ranging from 20mm to 1200mm in diameter and coils from 40mm to 160mm diameter, available from SDR33 to SDR 7.4. Designed for High Temperature service, DAMOS Solabloc pipe was developed to tackle the common issues that arise with HDPE pipe being used in high temperature environments. David Moss Corporation utilise advanced extrusion technologies to apply a white external coating to the conventional black pipe, thus providing a semi reflective coating, that inhibits the amount of radiation absorption. UV and Radiation absorption have drastic impacts on both the life span of the pipeline, and the pipelines ability to run at maximum pressure for its full design life, there are also strict deregulation standards applied to pipelines that are supplied in solid black. With this in Mind DAMOS Solabloc was developed to allow asset owners and pipeline designers to improve the efficiency, extend the design life and lower the maintenance cycle and running cost of their pipelines.
