At the ISH 2011, the Ulm-based Wieland Werke AG is presenting a wide selection  of new and proven building-service solutions based on the natural material copper. In the area of panel temperature control, the emphasis of the Wieland presentation is on the new cuprotherm system variants for renovation and dry-wall construction. With cupronova, Wieland exhibits an easy-to-install wall heating system specially for construction work in existing buildings. For the cuprotherm CTX system, Wieland presents a series of new components for drinking-water applications and radiator connections. The focus in the drinking-water installation segment at the fair is on the SANCO brand copper-pipe products, which have proved their worth for decades, and which Wieland offers in additional sizes with reduced wall thickness. A further highlight in the area of drinking water is the lead-free material CUPHIN, a silicon-bronze, which Wieland presents at a separate stand (Hall 6.0, Stand B44) shared with Diehl – with the amendment of the Drinking Water Regulations of 2013 in mind. Several well-known German manufacturers already have sanitary components made of CUPHIN in their range of products. This innovative material is not only used in  taps, but is also suitable for many other products, from water meters to press fittings, which are also on exhibit. Another exhibit is the high-strength alloy K65, which is on display for the first time for refrigeration and high-pressure applications, for example with the coolant CO2.

Wieland takes the opportunity of the ISH fair not only as a platform for building-service applications, but also to present innovative technical solutions for the industrial sector. These include the latest development that rounds off the group of products centred on the high-strength alloy K65. This copper alloy is predestined for high-pressure applications. Besides this, Wieland exhibits the innovation cuproform – a quality of copper pipe for industrial applications, with highly deformable characteristics that simplify processes such as expanding, bending, compression or flanging. In many cases, for example in the manufacturing of connecting pipelines and fittings for heating, refrigeration and air-conditioning, the requirements on copper pipes far exceed their usual characteristics. In addition, Wieland presents cuproclean, a copper pipe for industrial applications with an exceptionally pure inner surface. And the latest addition to the solarclean family for vacuum-tube collectors, solarclean HP, is also available as of now.
