Definitions
- the present invention relates to pipe systems and particularly relates to pipes with fire retardant and anti-static properties.
- Pipes are well known for use in conveying fluids under pressure such as water, other liquids, or compressed air.
- the present invention provides a pipe having a wall defining a bore, the wall is formed from at least two layers comprising: a structural core layer; an outer layer which is statically dissipative; and wherein the outer layer is fire retardant.
- the outer layer may include a statically dissipative polymer.
- the statically dissipative polymer may be in the form of a matrix distributed in a host polymer.
- the host polymer may include polypropylene.
- the structural core layer may be formed from a polymer such as
- the outer layer may include a non-halogenated fire retardant material.
- the pipe may further include an inner layer which is also statically dissipative.
- the present invention provides a method of producing a pipe including the steps of: co-extruding at least two pipe layers comprising: a structural core layer; and an outer layer which is statically dissipative and fire retardant.
- the outer layer may be formed by distributing a statically dissipative polymer as a matrix into a host polymer.
- the host polymer may include polypropylene.
- the outer layer may be made fire retardant by the addition of a non- halogenated fire retardant material.
- the method may further include the step of co-extruding an inner layer which is statically dissipative.
- the inner layer may be formed by distributing a statically dissipative polymer as a matrix into a host polymer.
- the inner layer may be made fire retardant by the addition of a non- halogenated fire retardant material.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a section of pipe according to an embodiment of the invention.
- Figure 2 is an end view of the pipe of figure 1.
- a length of pipe 10 is shown in perspective view.
- the pipe has been formed by a co-extrusion process and has a multi-layered wall structure which defines a central bore.
- Outer layer 12 consists of a statically dissipative outer layer which is formed by distributing a statically dissipative polymer in a polypropylene-based host polymer which has also been mixed with a non-halogenated fire retardant material.
- Inner layer 16 is formed from the same material as layer 12. In some embodiments, the fire retardant material is omitted from layer 16.
- Intermediate structural core layer 14 is formed from Impact Modified
- Layer 14 has high strength and provides the overall multilayer pipe structure with strength making it suitable for use in pressure or vacuum applications.
- Statically dissipative polymers are commercially available and are used, for instance, in the production of electrostatically discharging packaging for use in the electronics industry.
- the inner and outer layers may be made statically dissipative by the addition of one or more of carbon black, carbon nanotubes or metal fibres.
- a layer is said to be statically dissipative it is generally considered by those skilled in the art to have a level of resistivity between 10 5 and 10 11 ohm-metres. This provides a suitable level of electrical conductivity to dissipate charge in a reasonably short time without the risk of a spark hazard and avoids the need to provide earthing for a pipe installation formed using pipe according to embodiments of the invention.
- Non-halogenated fire retardant materials are commercially available and can include one or more of ammonium polyphosphate (APP), melamine polyphosphate (MPP), magnesium hydroxide, aluminium trihydrate and red phosphorous.
- APP ammonium polyphosphate
- MPP melamine polyphosphate
- magnesium hydroxide aluminium trihydrate and red phosphorous.
- Pipe 10 is formed in a continuous co-extrusion process in which all three layers are combined in one operation.
- the constituents of each of the layers are heated and mixed appropriately and introduced into an extrusion machine fitted with a co-extrusion die. Lengths of pipe emanating from the machine are cut to desired lengths and allowed to cool.
- the fire retardant material used was a non-halogenated fire retardant material.
- a halogen based fire retardant material may be used such as a bromide or chloride.
- the inner and outer layers included a polypropylene host polymer.
- other host polymers could be used such as other polyolefms including polyethylene or polybutylene.
- Pipe is suitable for use in areas where fire rating and anti-static rating is required.
- Non-halogenated fire retardant provides improved safety over bromide based fire retardant in the event of fire
