From ultra-clean water to corrosive acids and explosive emulsions

• When the Swedish mining company LKAB wanted to charge their blast holes deeper and faster, we developed a reinforced Uponor inPEX pipe with thicker pipe walls.
   
• Uponor inPEX pipes with integrated end fittings mean that people who buy dishwashers from Electrolux, Asko Cylinda and Fisher & Paykel need not worry about water leaks.
   
• Uponor Industrial Applications was the answer for Buckman Laboratories for a demanding chemical transportation installation at Stora Enso in Skoghall.
   
• The thermal memory of Uponor inPEX pipes enabled Lögstör to have a tailor-made range of shrinkable end caps for district heating pipes.
     
• Uponor inPEX pipes withstands both flexing and vibrations, and was the solution for a flexible heating system fitted into Scania buses, for example. Uponor inPEX pipes are also used in the cooling system in the X2000 trains.
   
• The material in the Uponor inPEX pipe is flexible, light in weight and an electrical insulator. It’s therefore ABB’s choice when they need to cool drive systems in icebreakers, high-voltage cables, transformers and thyristor valves – applications that impose very high demands on reliability.
     
• The low friction of the pipe and its resistance to abrasion are ideal when sand slurry is transported from the mines in South Africa.
   
• To cool ABB’s revolutionary Powerformer generator design, we developed, in close co-operation with ABB’s engineers, a special thin-walled version of the Uponor inPEX pipe that met their high demands for flexibility and reliability.
