Key Products/TechnologiesKeyProducts/Technologies
**Multi Core Tube (MCT)**: A bundled tube system for efficient installation, maintenance, and control of hydraulic oil, gas, and other fluids in shipbuilding, offshore, and onshore plants. Possesses technology for continuous production up to 1,200 meters without intermediate connections. Tube materials include stainless steel and copper, with sheath properties featuring flame-retardant and heat-resistant materials like PVC, FR, HR, TPU, HFFR, PE, XL, PFA, FEP, and PVDF.**MultiCoreTube(MCT)**:Abundledtubesystemforefficientinstallation,maintenance,andcontrolofhydraulicoil,gas,andotherfluidsinshipbuilding,offshore,andonshoreplants.Possessestechnologyforcontinuousproductionupto1,200meterswithoutintermediateconnections.Tubematerialsincludestainlesssteelandcopper,withsheathpropertiesfeaturingflame-retardantandheat-resistantmaterialslikePVC,FR,HR,TPU,HFFR,PE,XL,PFA,FEP,andPVDF.
**Stainless Steel Tube**: Produced in coiled and straight forms, with a notable product being the highly flexible stainless steel tube (AFLEX) for air conditioner refrigerant piping, offering superior pressure resistance, hardness, durability, and approximately 30% cost competitiveness compared to copper tubes. Seam-Welded Tubes allow for long, continuous lengths and are often more cost-effective than Seamless Tubes, which are also a key product line.**StainlessSteelTube**:Producedincoiledandstraightforms,withanotableproductbeingthehighlyflexiblestainlesssteeltube(AFLEX)forairconditionerrefrigerantpiping,offeringsuperiorpressureresistance,hardness,durability,andapproximately30%costcompetitivenesscomparedtocoppertubes.Seam-WeldedTubesallowforlong,continuouslengthsandareoftenmorecost-effectivethanSeamlessTubes,whicharealsoakeyproductline.
