Designation

Liner Pipes: SIMONA® PVDF-CV & PVDF-EL-CV

SIMONA® PVDF-CV pipes have a rough and open outer surface that allows bonding
using the same mechanism as with a Polyester backing.
The bonding-mechanism to resins and adhesives is strong mechanical interlocking.
The rough an open CV surface consists of PVDF. Thus the bonding is chemically more
stable than with glass or polyester backed material.
