Depending on the size of the pipes, the
corresponding fittings can also have significant dimensions.
Stabiliser Requirements
During injection-moulding processes, high
temperature and shear occur which require specially formulated stabilisers.
These needs are very different compared to pipe extrusion: stabiliser
properties have to be excellent and lubrication has to be adjusted to
the high shear process in moulding machines.
For fittings used for drinking water pipes,
national regulations apply to the stabiliser formulations.
