MOLYMER MATEX’s protection pipes are made with our continuous pultrusion molded PLALLOY^TM material. It is a high quality product popularly used by power companies on bridges.

1. Quality Assured Product

   Continuous pultrusion molding assures quality and precision—the interior and exterior surfaces are extremely smooth, and when cutting pipes on site, cut surfaces do not need any further processing.

2. Light and Strong

   FRP pipes are light, with a density of only a fifth of steel. This eases the weight burden on bridges and structures. Also, the product incorporates continuous glass fibers that are oriented axially, giving the pipes high rigidity.

3. High Corrosion Resistance

   The product has even greater corrosion resistance than stainless steel or aluminum, and can be used in areas by the sea.

4. High Temperature Resistance

   The product can withstand temperatures between -50 degrees Celsius (℃) and 120 degrees Celsius (℃), making them ideal for use in extreme environments.

5. High Weather Resistance

   The product is highly weather resistant and rarely warps or loses its strength. While UV rays can affect its external appearance, deterioration of its material strength is minimal.

6. Non-Magnetic

   Being nonmagnetic, electrically insulating, and arc resistant makes the product highly suited for use in electrical environments and around single-core cabling.

7. Coloring

   The product comes in gray, but other colors can be requested during the manufacturing process. Please let us know if you need to match the product color with a bridge or another item in the planned environment. Adding another color at the manufacturing stage will require a bulk order, but products can also be painted after manufacture, in the case of smaller orders.

8. High Workability

   As the product is light, transport and assembly is relatively easy. It is also easier to drill, for example, than other steel products.

9. Broad Product Range

   The nominal diameters of our products range from Φ75 to Φ250.
   We also offer expansion joints and other joint fittings.
