Backed by 30 years of experience in its field, Sharjah-based manufacturer of pipes and fittings National Plastic and Building Material Industries continues to boost its product range with the expansion of its cPVC (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride) line for hot water application and the Kitemark range.
Over the past year, the company has introduced new products including a cPVC pipe system for hot water/industrial applications.
“Corzan cPVC pipes are manufactured in technical collaboration and under licence from the world’s largest producer of cPVC, Noveon of the US,” says David Bray, assistant managing director. “cPVC pipes are technically the most superior option for hot water distribution as compared to other traditionally used pipe systems. It offers many advantages over other materials, especially in terms of heat resistance, durability, easy installation and water quality.”
The other products introduced recently are BSI Kitemark-certified pipes for drainage and sewerage applications.
“The Kitemark pipes are produced strictly in accordance with the latest European norms,” explains David. “The Kitemark is a clear assurance that National Plastic products are tested for quality compliance, safety and meet all the relevant standards. It provides customers confidence and satisfaction about the attributes of the product, right from ease of installation to superior performance.”
All these new products have been achieved through in-house technical capability, he points out.
