1 MINING DURABLE PIPE SYSTEM

2 MINING TAILING LEACHING DREDGING DEWATERING HOT LIQUID LINES SEA OUTFALL LINES SLURRY LINES THE PEXGOL ADVANTAGE Increased economic pressures combined with new environmental regulations, particularly related to toxic, corrosive and abrasive materials, have led to a demand for high quality, cost effective piping solutions. Customers demand proven, durable, high performance piping systems with the fastest installation time and lowest long- term cost. Golan Plastic Products, manufacturer of PEXGOL pipes, is a world leader in crosslinked polyethylene piping. At Golan, we are familiar with the complex challenges faced by a broad spectrum of today s industries. We work with our clients, integrating PEXGOL piping systems to solve the toughest problems.

3 PEXGOL BENEFITS Cost effective Very Low Maintenance Highly resistant to abrasion and corrosion Long term resistance to UV exposure & high temperature Low Clogging/Sedimentation Working temperature (-50ºC to 110ºC) Low energy losses Transportation & logistic advantages Impervious to slow crack growth Outstanding behavior in creep No bedding required Self insulating material Slurries transport Incrustaion free SQM Potash mine - Chile Transporting long sections HDPE after 3 months Hot process lines up to 110 C PEXGOL after 3 months Acids tailing line

4 THE ECONOMIC BENEFITS PEXGOL system offers economic benefits based on the long lifespan and reliable performance of our pipes. PEXGOL pipes toughness and strength are the natural result of crosslinked polyethylene piping. EXTRAORDINARY CHEMICAL, CORROSION AND TEMPERATURE RESISTANCE PEXGOL pipes are resistent to a wide range of chemicals and resilient in working temperatures up to 110ºC. LONGITUDINAL FLEXIBILITY AND RADIAL STABILITY PEXGOL pipes perform under all combinations of axial and radial stresses. The corsslinked polyethylene design enables fast & easy installation, even in extreme temperatures. Low radius of curvature allows for super short routes and the ability to install piping in otherwise inaccessible areas. HIGH EXTERNAL CORROSION RESISTANCE Golan pipes have a proven history of thrive and survive for decades, delivering perfect performance in some of the world s harshest physical environments. CREEP AND IMPACT RESISTANCE PEXGOL pipes perform under all combinations of axial and radial stresses. PEXGOL is highly resistant to impact, fracture and fatigue, even at extremely low temperatures (-50 o C). PEXGOL resistance to slow crack growth enables installation in trenches without sand bedding, meaning significant cost savings. HIGH RESISTANCE TO ABRASION PEXGOL has proved itself more resistant to abrasion than steel and HDPE. For this reason it is the best solution for transporting slurries and other abrasive materials. LIGHT WEIGHT Compared to alternatives, PEXGOL piping is lightweight, reducing transportation, storage and labor costs, and also eliminates the need for heavy installation equipment, as required for steel pipe installation. INSTALL & FORGET System design for all components is based on the principle of install and forget, resulting in a maintenance-free system.
