Introduction
& FLEXIGOL
PEX pipes are produced by Golan Plastic Products Ltd, an industrial enterprise owned by
Kibbutz Shaar Hagolan.
Golan Plastic Product, started in 1960 as an extrusion plant and today it is one of the biggest
plastic products producers in the building sector in Israel. In 1975 Golan Plastic Products started
manufacturing hot water pipes made of polyethylene crosslinked by the Peroxide high pressure
Engel process. These pipes, sold under the name of PEXGOL, are now well-known for their quality
and reliability on the international market.
In 1991 Golan started manufacturing PEX-c pipes crosslinked by irradiation (electron beam).
In 1997 Golan started manufacturing a new multilayer pipe, sold under the name of MULTYGOL.
This pipe is a Pex pipe reinforced by aluminum layer.
In 2001 Golan started manufacturing a new multilayer pipe, sold under the name of FLEXIGOL.
This pipe is a PE-RT pipe reinforced by an aluminum layer.

MULTYGOL is a multilayer pipe, made of two PEX layers with an aluminum layer in the middle.
The aluminum layer is bonded to the PEX layers with a special adhesive material.
It gives the pipe more strength and oxygen barrier.
The perfectly symmetric aluminum layer is butt-welded by advanced butt-welding (laser) technology.

MULTYGOL
& FLEXIGOL
Comparison with Other Plastic Pipes
MULTYGOL pipes are produced from a special type of polyethylene. This is a high density
polyethylene (HDPE) with a very high molecular weight.
After the manufacturing process is finished, the pipe is cross-linked by a hige energy electron beam.
resulting in an unbreakable (chemical) cross-connection between the adjacent long molecules of
the polyethylene. As a result of the crosslinking, a 3-dimensional network is formed and the pipe
can be considered as one enormously big molecule.
FLEXIGOL pipe are produced from PE-RT (Polyethylene of Raised Temperature Resistance)
The combination of a special raw materials of a very high molecular weight result in a special pipe
having several important qualities:

composite pipes are manufactured by several methods. The main differences relates to the way in

ch the aluminium layer is welded on the inner plastic layer.
MULTYGOL
sonic welding belongs to the family of "cold welding" -or "press welding" processes. Its main applications are

e very thin sheet
range (such as 0.05 mm), not so much in the range of 0.40-0.60 mm, and not at all beyond.
rtunately, welding
this technology
is for
difficult
to control.
One has to first realise the weld seam before the inner plastic
process
multylayer
pipe
can be extruded into the metallic tube.Also the weld security factor is rather low.
e then, the original "one application pipe" of the small diameter range developed into a family of pipes covering
ge range of diameters.Overall pipe diameters continue to increase and the thickness range of the aluminium sheet
been expanded from 0.15 - 0.20 mm up to 1.50 mm for very large pipe diameters. For most applications, a sheet
ness between 0.20 - 1.20 mm fulfils the requirements. With this evolution has also come the arrival of new
ing techniques.Instead of the ultrasonic weld seam, butt weld seam configurations are preferred.Two processes
pecifically suitable for this butt weld configuration. It is the laser welding process and the TIG (tungsten-inertgas)
ing, an electric arc welding process with a refractory electrode. Both processes are fusion type welding. They also
similarly high levels of performance and quality criteria.
laser and TIG technologies are used for sheet thickness under 0.45 mm. However,lLaser technology
s its thickness limitation when exceeding 0.45 mm, while TIG technology can go well beyond.

Laser welding technology
The energy vector of this process is a light beam, in the near infrared range
of 1.06 ~m wavelength.This beam of highly focussed coherent light has an
extremely elevated power density, although its efficiency applied to aluminium
is very poor.In order to generate a laser beam of 2000 Watts,approximately
120 kW of power is required (cooling system included). When this beam hits
the surface of an aluminium sheet about only 200 W or 10% of the total beam's
power finally contributes to the melting operation. This very high reflection degree
is one of the major inconveniences of this process. It explains why aluminium
and its alloys are generally considered as having limited weld ability (steel, for
comparison sake only, reflects six times less).The resulting welding speeds for
an aluminium thickness range of 0.15 - 0.30 mm is up to 25 - 28 m/min.

Domestic water supply lines
Multygol & Flexigol pipes are the perfect plastic piping system for central
heating systems and sanitary pipes (hot and cold water pipes).
It is an excellent replacement for galvanized pipe in new projects
and in renovation projects as well.
Multygol pipes and fittings are the perfect choice for hot water solar systems.
Multygol pipes can reach peak temperatures of up to 110* C and above. Its unique structure
and special materials give the pipe the durability needed for hot water solar systems.

How underfloor heating works
Underfloor heating works by circulating warm water from a heat
source (boiler) through pipes installed in the floor. Because the
emitting area is large, the warmth provided is quite sufficient
even on a cold winter day without the need for any extra heat
source.
The method suits all floor types (concrete or wood).
