Blackmax
BlackMAX® is a cost-effective alternative to rigid stormwater drainage pipes providing exceptional performance and durability. Manufactured from polypropylene, BlackMAX® pipes are resistant to corrosive and aggressive ground conditions, such as acid sulphate soils or saline ground waters; resulting in increased longevity of the pipeline.
Advantages
Throughout Australia BlackMAX® has been chosen for its unique characteristics and properties including:
| Features | Benefits |
| Durability | The tough, ductile nature of polypropylene enable pipes to resist impact sustained in course of transportation and site handling, without damage |
| Abrasion and corrosion resistant | Polypropylene is notably resistant to abrasion and has excellence resistance to corrosive drainage. The material is resistant to aggressive ground conditions, such as acid sulphate soils or saline ground waters |
| Effective rubber ring joint | Designed for ease of assembly and jointing. Pipes can be cut to length on site and rejoined |
| Low embodied energy | Environmental benefits |
| Inground performance | High tolerance to deformation and can accommodate soil movement without structural damage |
| Smooth bore for hydraulic performance | Combined with their high resistance to scale and sediment build up provides excellent hydraulic performance. This can result in reduced grades to accomplish a given flow |
| Lightweight for ease of installation | Can be easily manoeuvred in confined areas by hand or with light lifting equipment. Site handling and efficiency is therefore improved, which can result in significant savings on installation |
