Plastitalia represents one of the most important
and dynamic companies in Europe for the production
of fittings and special pieces in PE80 and PE100
(polyethylene) for water and gas pipelines under
pressure.
The production range consists in:- Injection moulded butt fusion spigot fittings from
De 25 to De 1.200 with pressure rates that go from
Sdr 41 to Sdr 6;
- Electro-fusion couplers up to d. 630 in Pe100 Sdr
11 and up to d. 800 in Pe100 Sdr 17 and Sdr 26/41;
- Electro-fusion fittings and welding machines;
- Transition fittings Pe/steel and Pe/brass;
- Segmented fittings and other special pieces in any
kind of configuration, bending radius and diameter;
Furthermore, we promote a wide range of accessories
and welding equipment for butt fusion and electro-
fusion.
Plastitalia rises up from a collection of ideas and
projects of a group of young and qualified specialists
of this sector, spurred by the ambition to become
part of a productive world, as the plastic materials,
that requires a continuous updating and renovation.
Plastitalia was born in 1993 from Eurocondotte; a
company of the group specialised in dealing and
installing water systems and has soon become head
of the line in 1996 turning from SRL to SPA.
Thanks to its competence, quality, reliability and
determination Plastitalia was successful not only to
impose itself in the Italian market, establishing itself
among the main producers of fittings, but also to
cross the frontiers of the foreign markets, where it
is widening his ray of action more and more.
Plastitalia offers services and essential technical
suggestion, as support of the construction of works,
that fully meet the Customer’s requirements. The
realization of reliable systems, in harmony with the

SEGMENTED FITTINGS
Plastitalia fittings are produced using the Polyethylene.This material has many qualities, it is particularly adjustedfor the manufacturing of pipes and fittings for the realizationof transport systems of fluids and gas. In particular, itsorganoleptic qualities allow the transport of water, withoutaltering its property. Moreover, PE Pipe systems are reliablefor the transport of gas, thanks to their flexibility andperfect tightness.The Polyethylene is in conformity with the European currentregulations and classified as follows:1) MRS 8 = PE80= SIGMA 632) MRS 10 = PE100 = SIGMA 80The used raw material is produced by INEOS and TOTALPETROLCHEMICALS, world leading Companies in theproduction of PE, manufactured according to the Phillipsprocess (unimodal) and Ziegler-Natta process (bimodal).Plastitalia offers to its own Customers fittings in PE80 andPE 100 characterized by:Low specific weight;Impact resistance;Ultraviolet rays resistance;High Flexibility;Chemical agents resistance;Abrasion resistance;Resistance against micro-organisms;Completely non-toxic for the use in water systems;Temperature utilization from -40°C to + 40°C;Radiation Stability;Facility for the transport and installation;Facility for the welding of pipes and fittings.
The raw material and the products conform to the hygienicsanitary rules of Ministry for Health (Ministerial Decree No.174 dated April 6 2004.
