CFW-GRP Pipe Systems
Flowtite®, one of the world’s largest pipe manufacturers, produces pipes using wound filament technology. This creates structurally superior pipes at a lower cost, which are suitable for pressure and non-pressure applications.
Flowtite® filament wound pipes are built as a structural sandwich, using resin, glass fibers and silica sand. The high-strength continuous glass fibers resist stresses from internal pressure, provide optimal bending stiffness and have excellent resistance to axial stresses, and damage from impact, and handling. reinforced silica-filled core to provide optimal bending stiffness. Flowtite products include:
- Sewer Pipe
- Pressure Pipe
- GRP pressure fittings
Why Flowtite
- It doesn’t break down when exposed to the elements, unlike plastics.
- More efficient transport methods creating a smaller carbon footprint
- Installation can be carried out with less impact on existing vegetation
