Thermoplastic moulding compounds and moulded materials for pipes and tanks
Thermoplastic moulding compounds are used in a variety of ways to manufacture semi-finished products and construction products. They are used, for example, in the manufacture of bulk silos, cesspits and tanks, pipes and collecting devices for substances hazardous to water. These thermoplastic materials are characterised by their high chemical resistance as well as low weight.
Moulded materials are semi-finished products (e.g. sheets and wound pipes) made of thermoplastic moulding compounds for the manufacture of the aforementioned construction products.
Regulatory framework
