EnviroKingUV™

Harvel Plastics has launched EnviroKingUV™, a clear PVC piping that is suitable for exposure to sunlight. Unique UV blocking technology reduces harmful ultraviolet light wavelengths from penetrating the plastic while allowing beneficial wavelengths through. EnviroKingUV™ offers a cost-effective solution for photobioreactor use and other outdoor applications exposed to sunlight where transparency is required.

Harvel EnviroKingUV™ piping is produced from a unique, rigid, transparent PVC-U compound. This material has been specifically formulated to block damaging UV light. The pipe is produced to standard inch dimensions but special ThinWall™ dimensions have also been produced in a variety of diameters to improve light transmission while maintaining product rigidity.

EnviroKingUV™ has been developed to meet the demands of innovative technologies related to the renewable energy market and other emerging green industries. It is ideally suited for a wide range of outdoor applications including containment vessels for the commercialisation of micro algae (photobioreactors), biofuel processing, carbon capture and recycling, process R & D, filtration, and sight glasses.

The material possesses the well-known benefits of rigid PVC-U in a unique transparent product with UV stability. These benefits include exceptional corrosion resistance; smooth interior walls for unimpeded flow and reduced sediment build-up; good pressure-bearing capability; and ease of handling and installation, to name a few. Especially important is the possibility to make fast, reliable solvent-welded connections to the wide range of PVC-U pipe fittings and valves that are available, ensuring that EnviroKingUV™ delivers a lower overall installed cost than glass, acrylic, or other transparent materials.
