OPTIFLUX High Strength Oriented PVC Pipes
Are the most advanced pipes available in the market with the technology of molecular orientation, whereby the amorphous molecular structure of polymer is converted into a layered structure.
Orientation of PVC molecules by molecular orientation technology which orients the PVC molecules both in the axial and circumferential directions (bi-axial orientation). The bi-axial orientation process is carried out by stretching the initial extruded pipe along the axis (Axial Orientation) and by expanding the diameter (Hoop Orientation). The orientation of PVC molecules is done under precise temperature and homogenous distribution of pressure, and speed which orients, preferably aligns and lengthens the polymer molecules and a layered structure were developed.
The process of molecular orientation results an exceptionally tough, high performance improves the physical and mechanical characteristics of polymers, increased hydraulic capacity greater impact resistance, higher strength, elasticity & ductility, improved fatigue resistance, better creep behavior and reduced weight. The results of these unique technical and environmental improvements is the OPTIFLUX Class 500 Pipes with exceptional features and lower installation costs making it the best choice of pipe for medium and high pressure application.

Storage
- Store the pipes horizontally on a flat surface and place supports on every 1.5 meter to avoid the bending of the product.
- Avoid scratches especially on the crest of socket.
- Do not stack pipes more than 1.5 meter height
- The socket of the pipes should be free, alternative sockets and end during stacking.
- If the pipes are stored in direct sunlight, cover the pipes with opaque material.
Installation
OPTIFLUX PVC-O Pipes are recommended for underground use only.
For Installation the trench shall be free of stones at the bottom and at the sides. The minimum width of the trench based on nominal diameter of the pipes. As a rule of thumb, when there is no road traffic involved, the pipes crown will be at a minimum depth of 0.6 meter, with road traffic the minimum depth is 1 meter.
