Fight corrosion with Alvenius TP-pipe system.

Alvenius light-weight steel pipe systems, internally and externally thermoplastic coated, combine the strength of steel and the resistance of thermoplastic to resist a wide variety of corrosive media. The TP-pipes are connected using Alvenius or Victaulic type quick-couplings or flanges which eliminate expensive welding.

The TP-pipes are beeing used in applications such as leaching, process water, fire hydrant installations, potable and waste water and for highly corrosive media.

Complete pipe systems are available for pressures up to 70 bar (1000 psi).
