The technology
Not a coating on steel — a purpose-built composite, engineered layer by layer for the fluids that destroy conventional pipe.
Three layers.
One seamless pipe.
Not a coating on steel — a purpose-built composite. A seamless thermoplastic liner, structural glass reinforcement, and a weatherproof outer casing, built up continuously into a pipe that resists corrosion from the inside out.

01
0.50 mm · seamless
Thermoplastic inner liner
A seamless, continuous polyurethane or nylon liner — fused from multiple layers, not sprayed. Isolates the contents and resists saline water, hot brine, hydrogen sulphide and aggressive chemicals.
-
02
4–5 layers · >30 bar
Glass reinforcement
Resin-impregnated fibreglass engineered for strength in both the axial and circumferential directions. Layers are added to match the design pressure — typically four to five for service up to 25 bar.
-
03
UV · self-extinguishing
Protective outer casing
A premium spread-coated PVC skin with UV stabilisers and fire-retardant inhibitors. Self-extinguishing, and field-proven through more than ten years of direct sun exposure without degradation.
Engineered advantages
Up to 75% lighter
Around a quarter of the mass of comparable steel or HDPE — minimal heavy lifting gear on site.
Corrosion-proof bore
The plastic liner means no internal corrosion, no cathodic protection and no voltage mitigation.
Fewer joints
Made in long single lengths — up to 2 km in the field — cutting joints, leak paths and install time.
Temperature tolerant
Handles extremes and rapid swings with no brittle fracture and no derating for temperature or hydrocarbons.
Simpler logistics
Far more pipe per truck. For 600 km, the raw-material containers replace thousands of pipe loads.
Leak-resistant
The impermeable liner restricts gas permeation — important for methane, CO₂ and future hydrogen.
Above-ground ready
Suitable for above-ground runs, with thermal expansion behaviour similar to steel.
Cost effective
Speed and simplicity in production plus transport savings add up to competitive delivered cost.
