Iplex® BlackMAX® Product Overview
Iplex BlackMAX – Built to last
BlackMAZ is built to last, providing a service life of over 100 years when designed and installed in accordance with the relevant standards and manufacturer’s advice. The inherent properties of polypropylene make it highly resistant to chemical attack in acid sulphate soils and sulphuric erosion in gravity sewers. Available in long lengths, BlackMax pipes require fewer joints, reducing the risk of tree root intrusion and less maintenance costs.
Iplex BlackMAX – Efficient water movement
BlackMax pipes offer superior hydraulic capacity facilitating flow which can result in more efficient hydraulic designs. It can also lead to advantages during construction such as flatter grades, smaller pipe sizes and reduced installation costs.
Iplex BlackMAX – Easy installation
Lightweight pipes are easier for workers to transport and lift, offering flexibility across a range of environments. The recent range extension up to DN1200 allows further design and installation flexibility.
Iplex BlackMAX – Safer to use
The lightweight nature of BlackMAX pipes means fewer hazards posed during transport and on-site movement, reducing the potential risk of accidents and injuries. BlackMax pipes do not produce silica dust during installation, repairs or cutting, ensuring a safe working environment and mitigating health risks for workers.
