Polyurethane (PUR or PU) is an extremely resistant polymer used in special applications like compressed air tubes, oil and fuel tubes, oxygen & gas lines, cable jacketing, and more. A variety of formulations exists to meet the specific standards known to the food, health, aeronautics, chemical, automotive industries. PUR is said to be growing globally at a rate of about 4 to 5% per annum, depending on public reports. Our PSL 032 //Extend line, which is configured for the particularities of this material, helps you produce PUR tubes with ease.

Since the early times of extruded high voltage subsea XLPE insulated cables, it has been mandatory to develop reliable in-house solutions for jointing either XLPE or lead extrusion lengths. The manufacturing lengths are connected by so called Factory Vulcanized Joints (FVJ). The factory joints make it possible to proceed with the application of subsequent cable layers in processes not sensitive to restarts after a break.

Count up to 90% of volume for the main layer in a triple layer tube construction. That is the proportion of material employed in comparison to the two skin layers, which make up a heavy wall micro-drip lateral. So imagine the costs reductions if you could purchase less costly virgin material or even better, include recycled material. Maillefer offers you such possibilities. And that is just one of the advantages you get from our PIL 032-FH//Extend and ///Explore lines.
