PEXGOL OPTIMUS
Pexgol Optimus is a new and superior pipe with high resistance to abrasion even exceeding Pexgol Technica capabilities. Unbeatable abrasion resistance versus other pipe materials such as HDPE and steel with improved wear resistance.
Pexgol Optimus material has been tested by Paterson and Cooke 2016 and is completing a test at the AITF (Canada).
Volume loss results for the medium slurry:
The volume loss measurements for the seven wear test specimen rom the medium slurry test are summarized in the following table.
