Whatever you need to transport, Wirsbo-inPEX can usually make the process easier and more efficient ...

Wirsbo-inPEX is the collective name for our pipes, pipe components and pipe systems for industrial applications. In most situations where you need to transport fluids, powders or granulates, Wirsbo-inPEX can help you simplify and improve, and reduce costs. Whether you are transporting hot, cold, corrosive, abrasive or exceptionally clean materials, and almost regardless of demands imposed by the surrounding environment.

Wirsbo-inPEX withstands high temperatures, pressures, vibrations and chemicals. The material is also electrically insulating and low in weight. Combined with our specialists’ knowledge, experience and resources, the material can bring substantial savings and entirely new development and production possibilities.

The secret is in the material

Wirsbo-inPEX is made from extra-high molecular weight HD polyethylene. At high pressure and temperature, chemical bonds – a network of cross-links – are formed between the polyethylene’s long molecular chains.

The three-dimensional network that this creates gives a new material with superior characteristics. The same basic material is used for distributing drinking water without risk of water damage, reliable sprinkler systems and effective underfloor heating systems, where the pipes’ durability and long-term stability mean they can be built in permanently.

More durable, easier and lower overall cost – these are just some of the advantages.

Each unique characteristic of Wirsbo-inPEX opens up new opportunities for simplification and higher efficiency. And also opportunities to do entirely new things. Start with your own requirements and your own imagination, then add some of our specialists’ expertise. You’re guaranteed to be impressed by the rapid results.

The pipe itself is just the beginning ...

Do you think that tailor-made solutions mean high costs and long development times? Think again! With Wirsbo-inPEX it need not take many days to go from sketch to prototype. Furthermore, we can test your design for bursting pressure, pressure drop, temperature changes, climate, abrasion, etc., in our test lab.

With Wirsbo-inPEX, the superior characteristics of the pipe itself – low weight, and resistance to temperature and chemicals, for example – are just the beginning. The really big savings come when you utilize the material’s characteristics and our competence, resources and experience. You can do entirely new things, or integrate several functions in the same component, e.g. using integrated collars that eliminate the need for sleeves or costly and complicated connectors. You save money by reducing the number of components, and you save even more with reduced installation costs.

Our involvement doesn’t end when our product is in place. When our pipes are used in an application where high reliability is crucial, we also offer service and support of the same exceptionally high quality as the pipe itself.

Wirsbo-inPEX can be made in most sizes, in lengths up to thousands of metres and in a very wide range of wall thicknesses. It can also be made with a coloured surface finish, and self-coloured in selected colours. Fittings are available for Wirsbo-inPEX in both metal and plastic for different requirements and applications. For example the Q&E-fitting is not only quick and easy to use but also strong and safe. Another example is the WIPEX fitting, which is also available in acid-resistant steel
