HDPE Pipe

Even in heavy-loaded areas, where only the strongest — Galvanized iron, Ductile iron, Cement Pipe survive, Plastic in the form of HDPE has scored beyond doubt as an ideal substitute. HDPE is today, the internationally preferred piping material across an unbelievable range of applications (where strength & long life are key requirements). HDPE is also capable of handling even semi-solid and gaseous effluents and displays unmatched resistance to corrosive chemicals. In other words where metal, cement and other forms of plastics fail to perform, HDPE pipes excel. **PE** Pipes are one of the two largest thermoplastic pipelines available and by far the most versatile. Polyethylene is a wax like thermoplastic with a density varying from a range of 934 Kg/m3 to 960 Kg/m3 which is less than that of water. The only two additives that are added to polyethylene are Carbon black with a limit of 2-3% to add some reinforcing effect to increase its weathering properties and some Anti-Oxidant to a limit of 0.3%. We mostly use black pre-compounded PE material. HDPE having comparatively high molecular weight is high in abrasion resistance and impact strength. It is also very good in stress cracking resistance and has low creep rupture properties. It is excellent in insulation properties over a wide range of frequencies and good chemical properties.
