Ultraliner PVC Alloy Pipeliner is a solid wall PVC pipe manufactured from<br />
virgin PVC homopolymer resin with no fillers, which is modified with special<br />
additives to improve ductility and toughness. The pipeliner is collapsed flat and<br />
coiled on a reel in continuous, jointless lengths. Small diameters, 12 inches and<br />
less, are folded in the field prior to insertion, while large diameters, 15 inches and<br />
above, are deflected to a smaller pr<strong>of</strong>ile (approx. 50%) at the manufacturing<br />
facility.<br />
<strong>Main</strong> Benefits Claimed • Con<strong>for</strong>ms to size transitions, tight bends, <strong>of</strong>fset joints and other<br />
irregularities.<br />
• Does not shift/shrink longitudinally or radially after installation (memory<br />
reset by heat and stretching to new dimensions); consistently achieves a tight<br />
fit.<br />
• Able to withstand significant shallow impact loads.<br />
• Reliable flanged and gasketed end seals in pressure applications and<br />
hydrophilic gasket end seals in gravity applications.<br />
• The solid wall PVC alloy cuts and polishes smoothly and quickly without<br />
jagged edges at lateral reconnections.<br />
• Very high abrasion resistance and ductility.<br />
• PVC alloys are chemically compatible with any sewerage application where<br />
a traditional direct burial PVC pipe would be appropriate.<br />
• Factory controlled consistency <strong>of</strong> design properties including modulus, wall<br />
thickness, and corrosion resistance enhances long-term asset manageability<br />
[2], [3].<br />
• Low mobilization, shipping, and set-up costs make <strong>for</strong> exceptional<br />
competitiveness in rural, DOT, and smaller scale projects.<br />
