2 The World of Plastic Pipe Systems
and their versatile application
At Georg Fischer DEKA, people of different educational back-
grounds have been involved with plastic pipes for more than
fifty years.
Some 110 employees make sure that the once revolutionary
discovery of plastics remains a topic of conversation
because of the development of superlative plastic piping.
In this way the world of plastics – for us plastic pipes – has
become larger.
There is hardly an industrial sector which has not taken
advantage of plastic materials or components.
Nowadays, modern plastic piping systems can be found in
the chemical industry, in medical technology, air and
aeronautical engineering, the automotive industry,
clean-room environments, ventilation systems (for example
in hospitals) and in sanitary installations.

Application
The World of Plastic Pipe Systems
Aside from standard pipe applications the small market of
industrial piping follows its own peculiarities, that have
to be considered when acting as a supplier:
• Highlyindividuallistofrequirements
• Centralimportanceofthechemicalresistance
• Versatilityofrelevantpolymers/products
and dimensional range
• Stronglydevelopedattitudeoftheend-
customerconcerningaspectslikequality,
safety issues, service and technical background
• Highestqualitydemandalongtheentire
supply chain
• Importanceofcontinuouspracticalexperience
and market-orientation of the processor
• Highpotentialforinnovation
It is not worth mentioning that negative and somewhat
simple connotations of the word ”plastic“ are merely a
historical issue.
High-techplasticslikePPS,PEI,PSU(andmanyothers)are
so versatile that they have become economically,
ecologically and technically irreplaceable.

Manufacturingstandardpartsofconstanthighqualityisone
thing. Making the right decisions about the best applications
for specific new materials is another.
Scrutinizing of existing concepts and material-approaches
as well as their active improvement to shape the next
generation of products and innovative applications is the
key-mission of our development staff.
It is a major concern of ours to do this kind of work in steady
coordination with the respective lead-users and selected
suppliers. In the course of this we also rely on our
welldeveloped network to universities, institutes and the
strategic partnerships within the polymer-processing
industry.
Proceeding this way also ensures that Georg Fischer DEKA
isalwaysinvolvedinbothsolvingactualmarketquestionsas
well as novel material trends in industrial piping.
Our activities to stepwise integrate the class of high-
temperature-resistantpolymers(e.g.PPS,PAI,PEI;PSU)in
novel applications into our product portfolio is a well-suited
example for this kind of activity.
The range of suppliers for the „genuine“ industrial market
for polymer piping systems is very restricted – the responsi-
bilityishighandtheissuestreatedarequitecomplex.
For more than 50 years Georg Fischer DEKA has very
successfully faced that challenge. Based on our develop-
ment and production of high-quality piping products for
chemical industry and industrial engineering Georg Fischer
DEKA has done a lot of pioneer-work thereby gaining
influence over technical development in this segment
(e.g.theuseofC-PVCorbetaPPH).
The versatility of polymers processed at Georg Fischer
DEKA, the continuity of strategy and staff as well as the
steady development of technology applied accompanied by a
deep understanding of the relevant aspects along the supply
chainqualifyGeorgFischerDEKAasacentreofcompetence
uniqueintheglobalmarket.

This involves the choice of the most suitable materials, and
expert understanding of the formulations required, a
discriminating use of the processing machinery and

Further Processing / Enhancement / Customizing
A section of the Georg Fischer DEKA company in which
piping systems and fittings can be further processed, i.e.
modified or upgraded, is of particular significance. With the
help of computer-controlled technology, the parts can be
changed in shape, bent, drilled, milled, welded etc. – always
with their specific application in mind.
Parts with special dimensions, profiles, colour, length or
composition can also be made. In this way products can be
put to use faster. There is a cost saving in both time and
transport. Further processing of pipes to highly custom
specific systems, products or entire modules is a peculiarity
and core-competence of Georg Fischer DEKA.
