A Revolution in Strength, Toughness and Flexibility

Imagine a pipe with all the benefits associated with conventional PVC, yet dramatically stronger and more impact resistant.

Introducing Bionax, a molecularly-enhanced PVC pipe designed for water mains, sewage forcemains, irrigation lines and industrial process piping. Made from biaxially-oriented PVC material, Bionax has almost double the strength of conventional PVC and three times the impact absorption capability. While millions of feet of earlier versions of oriented PVC have been installed, Bionax is manufactured using a revolutionary new orientation process, previously unavailable in North America. This ultra high-tech process orients the PVC molecules both in the axial and circumferential directions (biaxial orientation), resulting in a pipe with enhanced toughness and flexibility even when compared to earlier versions of oriented PVC.

Bionax is specially engineered to withstand the rigors of today’s installations. With less construction inspection, and less regular maintenance, the market is calling for a pipe that is more robust, stronger and easier to install. Bionax delivers on all three counts.

The First Biaxially-Oriented PVC Pipe for Municipal Applications Bionax’s biaxial orientation dramatically enhances the pipe properties that are important to municipal designers:

• Higher internal diameters increase flow rates and reduce pumping costs
• Higher cyclic fatigue resistance for forcemain and irrigation applications
• Reduced bend radius when compared to standard PVC pipe

>> Molecularly Enhanced

Advantages

Things are not always perfect in the field. Pipe can be impacted by equipment, bedded with sharp stones and boulders, or even pierced by directional drilling equipment. Bionax is designed to withstand even the most violent impact events, and if pierced by a direction drill or “torpedo” type piercing tool, will exhibit only a very localized failure. The unique layered material structure that resists impacts also stops cracks before they propagate.

	Impact Resistant With three times the impact strength of regular PVC, Bionax can handle the most punishing storage, handling and construction site conditions.
	Crush Resistant Bionax’s advanced molecular alignment gives it the ability to withstand extreme compressive forces, and can be crushed completely flat without failure.
	Lower Bend Radius With a lower bend radius than regular PVC, Bionax can tolerate extreme bending pressure that would damage or destroy any other plastic piping.
	Pressure Tough Bionax’s unique molecular reinforcement gives it the ability to withstand extreme internal pressures and deform instead of failing.
	Tapping Strength Bionax’s unique structural design allows tapping holes to be drilled close together without the risk of splitting or cracking.
