HDPE Pipe

ADVANTAGES & PROPERTIES OF POLYETHYLENE PIPE

CORROSION RESISTANCE

• HDPE pipe does not rust, rot or corrode.
• It is resistant to biological growth.
• This means an extended service life and long term cost savings.

FATIGUE RESISTANCE

• HDPE pipe is flexible and ductile, not rigid.
• It has outstanding resistance to fatigue.
• It is designed to handle the kind of occasional & recurring surge events

EXTENDED SERVICE LIFE

• HDPE ideal for your piping infrastructure.
• The service life of HDPE is estimated to be between 50 to 100 years, depending on application, design and installation.

FUSION JOINTS

• HDPE piping systems can be joined with heat fusion welds.
• Heat fusion involves the heating of two HDPE surfaces, this forms a permanent, monolithic, leak-free system.

ECO-FRIENDLY

• It takes less energy to manufacture HDPE & MDPE than non-plastic pipes.
• HDPE is lightweight and is often more cost effective to transport than metal pipes.
• In trenchless installations, the physical characteristics of HDPE & MDPE pipe enables you to use a smaller pipe, resulting in less ground disruption than when installing other fusible products.
• HDPE & MDPE pipe joined with heat fusion provides leak free connections.
• HDPE does not emit potentially hazardous levels of toxins into the air during production, during fusion or into the ground or water during use.
• HDPE & MDPE pipe can be recycled back into non-pressure piping applications.
• The flexibility of HDPE & MDPE, combined with the use of heat fusion to join the pipe, means fewer fIttings are required.
