Astral OPVC PRO pipes are the optimal solution for the conveyance of water under pressure for water supply, irrigation, etc. They are being installed in more and more projects around the world due to their extraordinary physical-mechanical properties and excellent quality. Astral OPVC PRO represents the most advanced form of PVC pipe technology available. Ideal for general water supply, rising mains, and various pressure applications, it leverages the benefits of PVC pressure pipes, which have a proven track record of durability and performance. The key to Astral OPVC PRO enhanced propertiy is its molecular orientation, achieved through a sophisticated two-stage manufacturing process. Initially, a feedstock pipe is extruded, followed by an expansion process that aligns the PVC molecules in both the axial and hoop directions. This axial molecular orientation significantly increases the pipe’s strength, particularly in the hoop direction, which is crucial for withstanding internal pressure. This enhanced engineering make Astral OPVC PRO is an advanced, cost-effective solution for pressure applications, offering high performance and durability.

Astral OPVC PRO pipes are the latest advancement in high-pressure piping, manufactured using PVC-O (Oriented Polyvinyl Chloride) technology. This process involves heating and stretching unplasticized PVC, causing the polymer chains to align in both circumferential and axial directions—a technique known as Molecular Orientation. This structural transformation makes the material up to 5 times stronger and more impact-resistant than standard PVC. The result is a pipe that offers superior durability, flexibility, and longevity, even in the most demanding conditions. Astral’s proprietary orientation process enhances not just strength, but also efficiency—contributing to lower energy use during production and better performance in the field. These pipes are ideal for high-pressure water systems, including irrigation, potable water, fire protection, and pumping applications. With a lifespan of over 50 years, eco-friendly recyclability, and ease of installation, Astral OPVC PRO sets a new standard in sustainable water infrastructure.
