ABRASION RESISTANT

The butadiene phase in AZEETA® ABS offers good resistance to abrasion and erosion from aggressive slurries, which can rapidly damage steel or other traditional pipe materials. The chemical and impact resistance of ABS makes it an ideal choice for those corrosive, erosive environments.

WEATHER RESISTANT

Coating pipes with acrylic or water-based paint is effective in minimizing any effects of ultraviolet radiation

Prolonged exposure to sunlight results in a reduction of surface gloss. This degradation is confined only to the exposed surface and has minimal effects on the physical properties of the piping system. However, like any other materials exposed to sunlight, due consideration must be given to thermal expansion/contraction of the piping system.

Environmental stress cracking as commonly found in other plastics is minimized by taking the thermal expansion and contraction into consideration.

MODE OF FAILURE

ABS being a ductile material exhibits a mode of failure that resembles soft copper. Failure due to mechanical damage of hydrostatic over-pressure causes ductile distortion and tearing.

However, the localised nature of failure results in minimal loss of pipe contents and the option to effect quick repairs over a relatively small surface area.

In contrast, the failure mode of brittle material is accompanied by crack propagation and material fragmentation

HIGH IMPACT STRENGTH

ABS has exceptional resistance to impact damage. This is due to its ductile property which is contributed by its Butadiene component.

This is the why AZEETA® ABS piping system can be used in critical applications where other types of plastics could not be considered because of their low impact strength.

SMOOTH BORE

ABS does not suffer from increased surface roughness of internal corrosion and provides a smooth bore for the life of the piping system.

Frictional factor of ABS pipes is reduced considerably as compared with metal pipes of rougher bores.

Internal corrosion also causes a reduced bore in steel systems, which further inhibits flow. The smooth bore of ABS pipes inhibits the formation of scale.

Internal diameter of AZEETA® ABS pipes will not be reduced over time, thereby eliminating the need to over size the pipes.

NON-TOXIC / TAINT-FREE

The ABS formulation does not contain harmful metallic stabilizers. All material used complies with food and toxicological requirements. It has been widely used for many years in piping systems for high purity water, medical preparations, food products and soft drinks.

AZEETA® ABS piping system is ideal for potable cold water. It conforms to British Standard 6920:1996 “Suitability of non-metallic products for use in contact with potable water intended for human consumption”.

TEMPERATURE RANGE

The ability to perform over a wide temperature range from – 30°C to + 60°C has an advantage over other plastic systems. This makes AZEETA® ABS very versatile, capable of handling a wide range of fluids from refrigerants to moderately hot corrosive liquids.

CHEMICAL RESISTANT

ABS is unaffected by both internal and external chemical attack by a wide range of acids, alkalis, ground water salts and other environmental factors.

SIZE AND PRESSURE RANGE

AZEETA® ABS piping systems are manufactured in sizes ranging from 15 mm to 630 mm. Pressure ratings start from 2.5 bar to 15.0 bar. These ratings are at 20°C.
