Molecor presents worldwide in the K-Show 2007, its MOLECULAR ORIENTATION TECHNOLOGY. Molecor is a recently established company promoted by three former executives, highly skilled in the plastic industry, that evelops and trades PVC-O pipes equipment.
Molecular Orientation technology provides plastic pipes outstanding properties such as high impact resistance, almost unbreakable, high stiffness and fatigue resistance, an excellent behaviour with external loads, and maximum flexibility. Also PVC-O pipes offer a bigger hydraulic capacity, minimum loss of pressure, and a significant reduction in wall thickness and therefore weight, which means transportation and installation savings. All these improvements are made with lower raw material consumption for the same requirement of pipe, resulting in a significant cost reduction. (weiterlesen…)
