- Innovative Production Methods and Material Technology: Revolutionary production methods since 1952, leveraging the best properties of plastics and rubber to create products outperforming conventional plastic and rubber hoses. Utilization of advanced technology, equipment, and proprietary blends of raw materials to maximize product durability and performance.Innovative Production Methods and Material Technology: Revolutionary production methods since 1952, leveraging the best properties of plastics and rubber to create products outperforming conventional plastic and rubber hoses. Utilization of advanced technology, equipment, and proprietary blends of raw materials to maximize product durability and performance.
- High-Strength and Lightweight Pipe Structure: KANAPIPE, combining steel and HDPE, stands as one of the strongest pipes in the market, offering higher stiffness ratings and deeper burial allowances (over 50 feet) than standard dual wall pipe products. Its significantly lighter weight compared to traditional concrete and corrugated metal pipes enhances installation safety and reduces equipment wear and tear.High-Strength and Lightweight Pipe Structure: KANAPIPE, combining steel and HDPE, stands as one of the strongest pipes in the market, offering higher stiffness ratings and deeper burial allowances (over 50 feet) than standard dual wall pipe products.
