11. Technology
The molecular orientation process modifies the PVC structure by
giving the polymer molecules a specific orientation.
Polimeric Chains
Molecular Bonds
Orientation
Process
Direction of Orientation
• Inherently layered
structure is achieved
without modifying chemical
composition.
• This significantly improves
the impact resistance of
the pipe.
• Prevention of crack
propagation.

12. Technology
MOLECOR’S air-based orientation technology enables the
production of PVC-O pipes at consistent quality, higher
production rate and competitive price.
• Patented air-based molecular orientation process to
class 500 (highest degree)
• In-line production of integrated socket system
• Largest range of diameter from 90mm to 800mm
• Highest quality assurance (Raw Material,
