Challenges in the utilities industry, solutions for durability and safety

As one of the largest consumers of polymer products, the construction industry faces a unique set of challenges that directly impact the safety, health and comfort of occupants. These challenges can be grouped into two groups related to the lifespan and durability of pipes, as well as the quality of joints and sealants. For example, underfloor heating systems and engine rooms subject pipes to constant high temperature stress and variable operating pressure, and many common polymers experience softening, deformation (creep) and structural failure under these conditions.

Some of Behin Polymer’s solutions in this sector include:

• Solution for durability against temperature, pressure and corrosion: Behin Polymer offers advanced PEX and PERT compounds. PEX compound with a network molecular structure provides unparalleled thermal and physical resistance and is completely resistant to hot water, high pressure and chemicals such as chlorine. PERT compound also combines flexibility with high temperature resistance
• The solution for leak-proof and safe connections: Weakness at connection points is a major weakness of piping systems. To solve this problem, we have produced our PVC adhesive as the first Iranian product to pass the thermocycle test, making it resistant to thermal shocks. Also, Behin Polymer liquid Teflon is a safe alternative to traditional tapes.
