Toughness and durability: The Butadiene constituent of ABS enhances impact strength and toughness at temperatures ranging from -40°C to 70°C and gives exceptional resistance to accidental damage.
Chemical resistance: Acrylonitrile impacts chemical resistance, thus ABS is unaffected by corrosive attack from a wide range of acids, alkaline and other aggressive chemicals.
Easy to joint: The Styrene constituent in ABS makes it an easy material to joint using ABS solvent. Simple modifications to existing pipework are also possible with minimal specialist training.
Lightweight: Unlike some metal pipes, VESDA ABS pipework is very light in weight. This makes it easy to handle in high and difficult places where systems are often installed.
Colour: The standard VESDA pipe and fittings are supplied in fire red to identify its service as fire.
