Acu-Tuff

Abrasion Resistant Pipe

Acu-Tech Piping Systems is dedicated to creating supreme solutions for every project and our product Acu-Tuff pipe is no exception.

Acu-Tuff is a polymer lined PE abrasion resistant piping system that is designed and tested for the transport of liquids, sludge and slurry containing abrasive media and contaminants.

This innovative pipe is a breakthrough product in the mining industry. Its vigorous design offers a longer lifespan, high costefficiency and is proven to have better durability than conventional metal or PE pipelines. Its excellent wear and impact-resistance makes it ideal for tailings pipelines, slurry pipelines and other abrasive applications used in mining operations.

Acu-Tuff is offered in two types:

  • Above ground installation
  • Underground installation

The co-extruded pipe provides three layers:

Inner layer: Maximises abrasion resistance, even in the harshest applications, providing better durability than conventional metal or PE pipes.

Second layer: PE 100 Pipe that offers advantages such as flexibility, resistance to cracks and tremulous events.

Outer layer: Protective layer that reduces pipe temperature in sunlight, leading to reduced thermal expansion and snaking.
