NIRON is a complete system made up of pipes and fittings in polypropylene for distributing hot and cold water in plumbing and air conditioning systems, conveying drinking water and liquid for foodstuffs, for industrial plants, transportation compressed air and chemical substances.

The pipes and fittings that make up the NIRON range are manufactured using random polypropylene copolymer which is a plastic material with a special molecular structure ensuring high mechanical resistance and duration, even at high temperatures and pressures.

The properties and other features grouped in the various components lead NIRON to be a valid alternative to traditional material used in thermo-hydraulic sector.

NIRON products are manufactured in compliance with the German DIN 8077/78 and the EN ISO 15874 norms. Compliance with standards is ensured by constant monitoring (including testing in external laboratories) by international certification bodies from whom NUPIGECO obtained accreditation certificates.

If requested , copy of certificates in compliance with the most widely known international standards can be provided.

Use of NIRON in substitution to metal installations for distribution of hot water allows two distinct types of energy saving to be achieved by users. It is to be pointed out that use can be made in a pseudo static situation (bathtub or shower and washing machine using hot water) or in a transitory situation (washing of hands or small objects). In the first case, the lower thermal loss of the material reduces passive heat loss by around 20% for an un-insulated pipe or, at the same rate of loss, around 15% of the insulating material thickness. In the second case, lower thermal conductivity allows water supply which is sufficiently hot even when the pipe has not reached working temperature and in this case the energy saving connected to NIRON pipes is higher than 10% with peaks up to 20%.
