In a sector like construction, it is essential to promote the creation of materials and solutions directly related to greater durability, resistance and efficiency. The latest innovations in oxygen barrier pipes have led to the creation of pioneering PPR CT polypropylene pipes in the market, which through their additives achieve the barrier effect and maintain their sustainability.
The oxygen inside the hydraulic circuits causes the formation of sludge, sludge and bacteria, causing damage to other components of the installation, such as valves, filters, boilers, etc. This type of pipes avoid these consequences, in addition to the formation of biofilm. , by incorporating additives to achieve the oxygen barrier effect without the use of additional layers of EVOH or aluminum.

En esta entrevista, conoce la experiencia en la instalación de este tipo de sistemas de tuberías con el responsable de la dirección técnica de Eléctricas S´Aljub, Carlos Rigamonti.
“ABN tubes provide us with a guarantee and peace of mind for our facilities thanks to their oxygen barrier”
Carlos Rigamonti
P: What type of facilities do you usually work with?
R: At Eléctricas S’Aljub we carry out sanitary installations for hot water, domestic hot water, cooling and, above all, underfloor heating, everything that leads to air conditioning.
Q: What products were you using in this type of installations? What problems did you encounter??
R: When we began to install the aerothermal system replaced by boilers, we used fusion tubes. What difficulty were we facing? That we had problems with sludge, oxidation… Later we used mechanically joined tubes, after that came another type of fusion tube, which gave us other types of difficulties as well.
Q: Since you have been using oxygen barrier pipes, what advantages have they brought you? A la instalación y, por ende, también a ti en tu trabajo diario.
R: The products we used had their anti-oxygen barrier but we had a very expensive and very complicated work problem. To hide tubes, test them and leave them for life, we opted again for fusion. So that was when we looked for a product that met all expectations to meet the quality of the system and the installation.
Q: What attributes would you highlight of this type of pipes?
R: We are currently using ABN brand tubes, which is giving us a guarantee, and a guarantee is a peace of mind for our quality of installations. It has numerous advantages, starting with the fact that it is already a product that blends together, but the added value it has is that it guarantees an anti-oxygen barrier. In fact, we have been working with anti-oxygen barriers for years, otherwise we would no longer work with them, because it gave us those problems. Well, we were missing the main tube, the general lines, and this does give us complete peace of mind, since we can carry out the entire installation with the same type of system and with an oxygen barrier.
Daily work has been made easier by the versatility of the tube: it is very flexible, easy to weld, much better to weld than others.
Q: Would you recommend oxygen barrier pipes? Why would I recommend them?
R: I would recommend this tube to installers without a doubt because it is very flexible to transport, to work with, to install, it has an anti-oxygen barrier and the number of accessories it comes with is fantastic, which makes us have a solution for everything. We want to give the client a quality solution, and this is what ABN is offering, precisely at this moment.
This success story highlights the need to continue innovating in sectors such as construction. The development of innovative products facilitates the installation process and promotes higher quality in installations, which allows solutions to be proposed directly related to greater durability, resistance and efficiency, promoting sustainable development.
