Features and Benefits of PE Pipe

Polyethylene (PE) has grown to become one of the world’s most widely used and recognized thermoplastic materials Since its discovery in 1933. The versatility of this unique plastic material is demonstrated by the diversity of its use. Today modern PE resins are highly engineered for much more rigorous applications such as pressurerated gas and water pipes; and other demanding applications.

The PE pipe is a product formed from extruding, taking the high quality PE resin as main material, adding necessary additives such as anti-oxidant, ultraviolet absorber and so on. The PE pipe has application history over 40 years. And recent academic reaches and materials supply has recorded PE can attained a 100 years lifetimeperformance.

Benefits of PE Pipe

  1. Easy handling and installation due to low weight and flexibility Internal, external and microbiological corrosion resistance
  2. Good hydraulic properties and No encrustations
  3. Good abrasion resistance Good chemical resistance Frost resistance Environmentally-friendly
  4. Suitability for contact with food –stuffs ( will not impart taste / odour to drinking water
  5. Life-span of more than 50 years ( low annual depreciation costs )
