Valsir Mixal® system is a multilayer piping solution designed for use in potable water, heating and cooling systems. It features a five-layer pipe construction with an internal PE-Xb layer, a thick aluminium alloy core, and an outer PE-HD layer, connected by a high-performance glue, ensuring flexibility, durability, and resistance to high temperatures and pressures.

This system is suitable for surface-mounted, embedded, and pre-insulated installations in residential, commercial, public buildings, laboratories and industrial installations.

Pipe construction:

Inner layer: Cross-linked polyethylene (PE-Xb).
Middle layer: Aluminium alloy (oxygen barrier).
Outer layer: High-density polyethylene (PE-HD).

Performance characteristics:

Excellent resistance to pressure and thermal expansion.
High mechanical strength and chemical resistance.
Low internal roughness for reduced pressure losses.
Oxygen impermeable aluminium layer for system longevity.
