PipeTEC product description

The PipeTEC is designed for treatment or cleaning the inside surface of jacket pipes for optimised adhesion of PUR foam which is needed for insulation of the pipe core.

The PipeTEC must be fully integrated into an extrusion line and ensures a very high level of surface treatment of the entire inside surface.

The purpose of surface treatment of polymer-based materials is to increase surface wettability through electrical discharge.

The low surface energy of plastics and polymer-based substrates – like PE and PP pipes, often lead to poor adhesion properties.

It is commonly known that an untreated inside pipe surface will result in “air pockets” when foaming, which will lead to condensation and eventually result in pipe failure when in use.

The Tantec PipeTEC is specially designed for optimising the adhesion properties of the inside surface of jacket pipes prior to foaming with PUR foam.

Tantec offers two different types of inside electrode systems depending on pipe size and tolerances.

The stainless steel shaped blade electrodes offer the ultimate treatment of the inside surface, but for larger pipes with large tolerances the stainless steel brush electrodes is a better choice.

Magnetic holding systems for keeping the inside electrode system in place are offered in combination with stainless steel shaped electrodes.

For dimensions up to OD 630 mm. Brush electrodes and larger shaped electrodes must be kept in place using a metal wire from the extrusion tool or something similar.

The PipeTEC is normally integrated right before the saw.

FAQ

What is PipeTEC used for?

PipeTEC is a corona treatment system for jacket pipes and pipe surfaces.

How does PipeTEC work?

PipeTEC uses corona discharge treatment around pipe surfaces. The process is controlled so the surface or component can be treated, checked or prepared with repeatable results.

Which materials or components can be used with PipeTEC?

PipeTEC is suitable for jacket pipes, plastic pipes and similar cylindrical products. The final setup depends on the material, geometry and production requirements.

Can PipeTEC be integrated into production?

Yes. PipeTEC can be installed inline with pipe extrusion or downstream processing. This makes it suitable for both new production concepts and upgrades of existing processes.

What production challenge does PipeTEC help solve?

PipeTEC helps solve challenges related to low surface energy, poor wetting and unreliable adhesion. It supports a more stable result before the next production step.

What happens if the inside pipe surface is not treated?

An untreated surface can cause air pockets during foaming, which may lead to condensation and eventually pipe failure in use.

Which pipe dimensions can PipeTEC handle?

PipeTEC is available for pipe dimensions from 75 to 2100 mm, depending on the system configuration.

When should Which materials can PipeTEC treat? consider PipeTEC?

PipeTEC can treat PE, PP and other polymer-based pipe materials.

Is PipeTEC an environmentally friendly solution?

Yes. PipeTEC uses a dry electrical corona process and can reduce the need for chemical pre-treatment where the application allows it.

Can PipeTEC be delivered as a standard or customized solution?

Yes. Tantec can provide PipeTEC as a standard solution or adapt it to your product, material, geometry, line speed and process requirements. The final configuration is selected together with you.
