MULTILAYER PIPES
Advanced piping solutions designed for long-term performance
Modern water conveyance systems rely on high-performance materials to ensure efficiency, safety, and long-term durability. Among the most advanced solutions in this field are multilayer pipes, designed for use in adduction systems that deliver potable water. These pipes are engineered to combine the benefits of different materials, resulting in tubing that is structurally reliable and optimized for demanding service conditions.
Multilayer pipes represent a technological evolution in water distribution. Their construction allows them to perform under varying pressures and temperatures while minimizing deformation, corrosion, and scaling. Types such as PERT/AL/PERT incorporate an aluminum core, which offers high dimensional stability and significantly reduces thermal expansion. This characteristic is critical in maintaining performance over long distances or in systems subject to frequent temperature variations. Other variants, such as PERT/EVOH/PERT, feature a barrier layer that prevents oxygen diffusion. This function is essential in protecting metallic components in mixed systems from internal corrosion. These multilayer pipes are used almost exclusively in underfloor heating systems.
K-FLEX designs and manufactures multilayer pipes that meet these exacting standards. Developed for adduction systems, K-FLEX multilayer solutions integrate advanced materials to ensure long-term durability, dimensional stability, and compatibility with modern building technologies. By combining the mechanical performance of plastics with the functional benefits of aluminum or EVOH layers, K-FLEX delivers reliable pipe systems for potable water distribution.
In addition, K-FLEX offers insulation systems engineered to work in synergy with its multilayer pipes. These insulation solutions help minimize thermal losses, prevent surface condensation, and ensure optimal water temperature control.
