DURABLE PIPE SYSTEM

MINING

THE PEXGOLADVANTAGEIncreased economic pressures combined with new environmental regulations, particularly related to toxic, corrosive and abrasive materials, have led to a demand for high quality, cost effective piping solutions.Customers demand proven, durable, highperformance piping systems with the fastest installation time and lowest long- term cost.

Golan Plastic Products, manufacturer of PEXGOL pipes, is a world leader in crosslinked polyethylene piping. At Golan, we are familiar with the complex challenges faced by a broad spectrum of today’s industries. We work with our clients, integrating PEXGOL piping systems to solve the toughest problems.

CREEP AND IMPACT RESISTANCE PEXGOL pipes perform under all combinations of axial and radial stresses.PEXGOL is highly resistant to impact, fracture and fatigue, even at extremely low temperatures (-50oC). PEXGOL resistance to slow crack growth enables installation in trenches without sand bedding, meaning significant cost savings.

HIGH RESISTANCE TO ABRASIONPEXGOL has proved itself more resistant toabrasion than steel and HDPE. For this reason it is the best solution for transporting slurries and other abrasive materials.

LIGHT WEIGHTCompared to alternatives, PEXGOL piping is lightweight, reducing transportation, storage and labor costs, and also eliminates the need for heavy installation equipment, as required for steel pipe installation.

INSTALL & FORGETSystem design for all components is based on the principle of “install and forget”, resulting in a maintenance-free system.

THE ECONOMIC BENEFITSPEXGOL system offers economic benefits based on the long lifespan and reliable performance of our pipes. PEXGOL pipes’ toughness and strength are the natural result of crosslinked polyethylene piping.

EXTRAORDINARY CHEMICAL, CORROSION AND TEMPERATURE RESISTANCE PEXGOL pipes are resistent to a wide range of chemicals and resilient in working temperatures up to 110ºC.

LONGITUDINAL FLEXIBILITY AND RADIAL STABILITY PEXGOL pipes perform under all combinations of axial and radial stresses. The corsslinked polyethylene design enables fast & easy installation, even in extreme temperatures.Low radius of curvature allows for super short routes and the ability to install piping in otherwise inaccessible areas.

HIGH EXTERNAL CORROSION RESISTANCEGolan pipes have a proven history of “thrive and survive” for decades, delivering perfect performance in some of the world’s harshest physical environments.
