Acu-Therm

Co-ex Pipes

Experience the innovation of Acu-Therm PE100 pipe.

Featuring a highly reflective white exterior that sets a new standard in above ground pipeline technology.

Our co-extruded coating, seamlessly integrated during manufacturing, ensures over 95% of the pipe comprises standard black PE material.

The thin white layer acts as a sun-reflective shield, significantly reducing heat absorption.

Traditionally, co-extruded pipe technology incurred higher costs.

However, Acu-Tech’s investment in cutting-edge extrusion machinery enables us to produce co-extruded PE pipe efficiently and affordably. Now, the cost of co-ex PE pipe is comparable to standard black PE pipe.

Furthermore, our state-of-the-art machinery allows for customisable designs, such as white pipe with coloured stripes for easy content identification.

Acu-Therm PE pipe surpasses black polyethylene pipe for above ground applications, including temporary water supply, offering unmatched advantages.

Blue stripes denote white water pipe, red for rural pipe, and lilac for recycled water pipe. We also offer bespoke colour options upon request.

ACU-THERM™ CO-EXTRUDED WHITE POLY PIPE PE100

Key features & benefits.

  • Full white coating to minimise solar heating of pipe and contents; testing has demonstrated more than 50% reduction
  • Ultra-violet (UV) resistance
  • Lower pressure rating can be used as lower operating temperature reduces the need to allow for pressure de-rating, enabling thinner wall pipe to be used. This provides cost savings in both material and through increased flow rates.
  • Reduced thermal expansion / contraction mean less need to ‘snake’ pipelines
  • Flexibility allows pipeline to accommodate topographical features.
  • Excellent solution for above ground applications including temporary water supply.
  • Twin wall pipe, co-ex or coex pipe, or ‘double skinned pipe’ means that the white material is extruded at the same time as the black material, bonding the two together.
