New Hunter Soil Pipe has Great Core Values
Hunter Plastics has launched a new co-extruded (Co-Ex) soil pipe, offering a great glossy finish to match the fittings, long lasting good looks with improved weathering, and a minimum of 30% recycled material – making it simple to meet environmental requirements on site at no extra cost compared to standard soil pipe.
The new Hunter Co-Ex soil pipe is available in 110mm grey and black only - the colours that account for the vast majority of soil installations in 110mm.
Co-extrusion is a different way of producing plastic pipe, using two different materials, extruded at the same time, to manufacture a product which consists of a decorative skin. This does not compromise on the pipe’s quality – in fact co-ex soil pipe from Hunter and other Aliaxis brands, is the only one that holds a BSI Kitemark to BS EN 1329.
New Hunter Co-Ex soil pipes offer a much better match in gloss levels between fittings and pipe. The external material also gives much better weathering performance, maintaining colour fastness for longer. Colour fastness of dark colours can be difficult to sustain over long periods of time. UV degradation and airborne pollutants can add to the erosion of the pipe’s colour. Even though it rarely affects the product's function and performance, at Hunter we understand that aesthetics are just as important.
