PVC is essentially an amorphous polymer in which the molecules are arranged irregularly. However, under certain conditions of pressure, temperature and velocity, with the aid of stretching the material, it is possible to orient the polymer molecules in the same direction as the direction in which the material is stretched.
Depending on the process parameters used, and often the stretching ratio, a higher or lower degree of molecular orientation will be achieved. As a result, it is a plastic with a layered structure that can be seen at a glance.
The molecular orientation process greatly improves the physical and mechanical properties of PVC, giving it a number of exceptional properties without changing the advantages and properties of the original polymer. This results in a plastic pipe with unrivaled qualities in terms of traction and fatigue resistance, flexibility and impact resistance .
When used in high pressure water pipelines, O-PVC pipes have high durability and an extremely long economic lifetime . Moreover, the pipe is an extremely energy-saving and environmentally friendly product not only for the way it is produced, but also because of its further use. Other advantages include high savings in costs and assembly times.
For all these reasons, TOM O-PVC pipes are used in irrigation systems, drinking water supply, fire extinguishing networks and pumping systems; It is the best solution for medium and high pressure water transport.
TOM O-PVC pipes have been developed by Molecor and are produced with the latest technology for efficient water transport. Molecor O-PVC is the leading global company that has supported know-how research and production development in the pipe industry.
Our manufacturing process is fully developed through innovative processes, using the most advanced and reliable technologies currently available globally. Until now, although O-PVC pipes were considered to provide the highest specifications, the technical limitations of the different production processes and the lack of efficiency of these processes were accordingly an obstacle to the widespread use of such pipes. Thanks to this technology developed by Molecor, these limits are now exceeded.
- Molecular orientation is achieved through the application of precise and homogeneous distribution of temperature and high pressures, thanks to quality control controls performed on each tube and throughout the entire production process.
- The TOM pipe manufacturing process is continuous and fully automated (as opposed to the traditional batch method), giving greater control over the finished product and ensuring that every pipe comes out of the same quality.
Thanks to the outstanding technical advances of Molecor's manufacturing system, TOM pipes offer maximum reliability and safety, as well as distinct advantages over other products.

Thanks to Molecor technology, the production of these products has been a turning point in the sector. Large diameter O-PVC pipe production was unthinkable before Molecor technology emerged.
TOM O-PVC pipes produced by Molecor are a product with a 50-year warranty thanks to their excellent physical-mechanical properties and high durability.
The environmental impact of O-PVC pipe depends on its composition and application. The type of raw material used, the production process, the finished product and the economic life expectancy of the pipe are the main factors that determine efficiency and sustainability throughout their life cycle.
TOM O-PVC is the most environmentally friendly solution available on the market, thanks to its efficient contribution to the sustainable development of our environment, as demonstrated by different studies around the world. Because it offers environmental benefits at all stages. The life cycle thus results in the most energy efficient way.
- Thanks to the excellent mechanical properties of these pipes, significant savings are achieved in the use of raw materials. For the same outside nominal diameter, TOM O-PVC pipe requires less PVC.
- Only 43% of the PVC composition is bound to petroleum. Therefore, the required consumption of this resource is lower than other plastic solutions.
- Energy consumption is lower at all stages of the life cycle.
TOM prevents the consumption of unnecessary energy resources throughout its economic life and reduces the CO2 emissions released into the atmosphere.
