PVC Pipes

Request specs

Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) pipes are used in general domestic plumbing works. PVC pipes offer a tremendous weight advantage over alternative piping materials. PVC pipes are available with deep insertion, push-together gasketed or solvent cement joints.

PVC pipes are made from a non-toxic, frictionless, flame-resistant and safe material that has been used for more than half a century. Rigid Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) is produced according to ASTM D 1784; color is gray.

  • Resistant to corrosive fluids, acids, and alkaline soil
  • Non-conductor of electricity
  • Suitable for direct burial or concrete encasement

Perforated PVC Pipes

Al Tamam Plastic Perforated PVC Pipes are manufactured upon request depending on the size and class of the pipes. Configurations may vary for each client’s requirements.

  • Range of sizes: 75 mm to 500 mm
  • Longitude pitch of holes (LP): 30 mm to 200 mm
  • Hole diameter: 5 mm to 13 mm
  • Number of rows: 1 to 6
  • Angular pitch: 40° for 3–4 rows; 40°, 80°, or 120° for 2 rows
  • Patterns: straight rows and staggered rows

Slotted PVC Pipes

Slotted PVC pipes are intended for lowering underground water tables, with straight or staggered slot layouts.

  • Slot length depends on pipe diameter
  • Slot width: 1 mm, 1.1 mm, 1.5 mm, 2 mm
  • Number of rows: 4, 6, or 8

uPVC Pipes

Request specs

Unplasticized Poly Vinyl Chloride (uPVC), also known as rigid PVC, is one of the most versatile and sustainable materials used in the construction industry. The formulation gives uPVC superior resistance to chemical erosion, and its smooth inner walls allow water to flow with less turbulence. uPVC is also resistant to a wider range of temperatures than PVC.

  • Standard length of pipe is 6 meters or as required
  • Pipe with one solvent cement socket or plain end
  • Pipe color is white or grey

Paper and HDPE Cores

Request specs

Paper cores are strong cardboard tubes or cylinders used in fabric, adhesive, electrical, paper product and converting industries as a sturdy base around which to wind materials for storage or distribution. Everyday examples include toilet paper rolls, paper towel rolls, gift wrap, tape and label cores, carpet rolls, and spools of wire, rope and cord.

Al Tamam manufactures both hard board and HDPE core pipes for geo, textile and flexible packaging solutions. We develop and supply tailor-made solutions for the flexible packaging and plastic film industries, with particular attention to smoothness, strength and cleanliness.

Whether for industrial films, food-industry films, printed films or geotextiles, production facilities are designed for large diameters, wall thicknesses and high strength. Dimensional properties are assured by stabilizing the humidity of the cores. The wool felt surface helps protect the material wound on cores, maximizing customer profitability.
