Leverkusen/Dubai, December 2007 – Construction projects in Dubai have been breaking records for years. New buildings are springing up against the backdrop of countless cranes. This rapid expansion of the infrastructure has fuelled an increased demand for shopping facilities.

Over 30 million people from all over the world are expected to visit the Mall in the year following its opening, which is scheduled for some time next year. (weiterlesen…)

COESTHERM® HEXA® MULTILAYER PIPE is the innovative new range of multilayer pipes made of PPR proposed by Coes for hot and cold water adduction for plumbing systems.
Thanks to the 3-layer pipe made of compound PP-RCT (polymer with a fine but very dense hexago-nal crystalline structure) Coes proposes an absolute innovation in 100% plastic material, without using fibreglass, to relaunch the random polypropylene sector for welding.
The advantages of the Coes proposal are increased capacity, thanks to the reduction in the thick-ness of the walls of the pipe, greater strength than any other PPR pipe and longer duration in time. The Hexa range is the only proposal of pipes guaranteed 50 years at a pressure of 10 bar and an operating temperature of 70°C. (weiterlesen…)
