Significant industrial growth in the last decade has challenged industries and contracting firms to construct and deliver completed facilities as contracted quickly. The goal is to complete the build in record time and under budget and not compromise quality. Offsite manufacturing (OSM) is becoming widely leveraged as the answer to meeting these challenges.

In the world of polymers (with the exception of fluoropolymers), UV and oxygen can be detrimental to a material's stability. Whether using polyvinyls, like PVC or CPVC or polyolefins like PE or PP, both material types can be subject to UV and oxidative breakdown. Formulators take great care to put additives in most thermoplastics that help prevent UV degradation in pipes over time... Read more...

For many applications, steel pipe is the solution, especially in power plants where pressures and temperatures exceed thermoplastic pipe's pressure and temperature limits. There are some exceptions to this unwritten rule, and for this article, we will discuss a few of these applications where polypropylene pipe works exemplarily in the correct application.

Recently, a Brazilian company asked Asahi/America for a recommendation on three chemical applications. Read article for Asahi/America's material recommendations. Read more...

The number of new semiconductor fabs being built in the U.S. has reached an unprecedented high. Shortages of on-site skilled labor are pushing the industry to adopt off-site manufacturing (OSM) and modularization strategies. Read more...

With the passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill in 2022, the US Government has now initiated the conversion of the US economy from a hydro-carbon-based economy to a hydrogen-based economy. Read more...

Clean-in-Place (CIP) systems are commonly used in pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical facilities. It is a method of cleaning manufacturing equipment, including elements such as pipes, filters, and fittings, without disassembling it. The equipment is cleaned using a series of cleaning solutions that are pumped through the system and flushed out with water. Read more...

Asahi/America has a strong history of critical application services in the landfill business with success in simple applications such as small-bore ball valves, chemical resistant piping, and highly-critical double containment piping with leak detection technology. Some other common applications require massive 36" diameter butterfly valves. Read more...

Asahi/America's Poly-Flo^® PP-R and Advanced PE co-extruded double containment piping system is now available in 6x9 size. Time saving on each project and low cost, easy installation, makes this the ideal system for drainage systems, pressurized transfer lines and industrial applications needing up to 6" carrier pipe. Read more...

Asahi/America's familiarity with technical standards and safety codes can help navigate projects and the selection of material that customers requiring CRN and TSSA can efficiently employ for their thermoplastic pipe systems. In this article, we discuss when CRNs are necessary, then how TSSA ties into the conversation. Read more...
