NIRON PP-RCT Powers New Sports Arena in Northern Italy: A Showcase of Innovation by NUPI and Borealis

High-Performance Piping at the Heart of a Landmark Project

In partnership with NUPI Industrie Italiane

A newly constructed sports arena in Northern Italy is turning heads—not just for its architecture, but for what lies beneath. At the core of its infrastructure is the NIRON PP-RCT piping system, a cutting-edge solution developed by NUPI Industrie Italiane using advanced raw materials supplied by us at Borealis. This collaboration has delivered a high-performance, sustainable piping network tailored for the demands of modern sports facilities.

NIRON PP-RCT: Engineered for Excellence

The NIRON PP-RCT pipe system is built from Polypropylene Random Crystalline Structure Temperature (PP-RCT)—a next-generation Borealis material that offers superior resistance to pressure and temperature. Its unique crystalline structure allows for:

  • Thinner pipe walls without compromising strength
  • Lower pipe weight
  • Higher flow capacity
  • Improved energy efficiency
  • Longer service life

Borealis PP-RCT is a pre-colored, ready-made compound produced in Europe, ensuring top material quality, efficient supply chains, and peace of mind.
These attributes make NIRON PP-RCT ideal for large-scale, high-demand environments like sports arenas, schools, colleges, hospitals, senior housing buildings, apartment buildings and industrial plants, where reliability and performance are critical.
