Iplex modified PVC (PVC-M) pressure pipes are tough, high performance thermoplastic pipes which incorporate advanced technology and have superior physical characteristics over conventional unplasticized PVC (uPVC) pipes. These include higher impact resistance, greater ductility, reduced weight and an increase in hydraulic capacity.

Pipe outside diameters and pressure classes are in accordance with Australia/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 4765 "Modified PVC (PVC-M) pipes for pressure applications" . These dimensions for Series 1 and 2 PVC-M are identical with Series 1 and 2 of AS/NZS 1477 "PVC pipes and fittings for pressure applications".

Iplex Rhino pipes have been used extensively for irrigation since 1997. More recently, Blue Rhino and White Rhino pipes which are calcium / zinc stabilized, have been given a favourable assessment by the Water Services Association of Australia (WSAA) in Product Appraisal No.98/17. This document rates these Iplex pipes as Type "A" - that is for a life expectancy in excess of 100 years before major rehabilitation, when used in water and waste water pressure systems. These pipes are recommended for use in potable water supplies by municipal authorities.
