High-density polyethylene is a polymer obtained from ethylene, the most widely used organic compound in the world. Most of the ethylene produced worldwide is obtained from the cracking by the steam of refinery hydrocarbons or from natural gas.
HDPE pipes represent an excellent investment benefit in the construction of conduction networks thanks to their balance between functionality, lifetime, and cost.
Our polyethylene pipes are manufactured with resins certified by the Plastics Pipe Institute (PPI), are bimodal the third generation, have greater resistance to pressure, tension and have a lifetime of up to 100 years.
Advantages of using HDPE pipe.
- Very high chemical resistance (acids, alkalis, salts, solvents, etc.).
- High resistance to abrasion wear (more than 5 times than steel).
- The smooth interior surface maintains excellent flow, so it does not accumulate tartar, avoiding clogging.
- Contains 2%, minimum, of fine particle black carbon (<50 nanometers) for better integration with polyethylene and increased UV protection.
- It is completely non-toxic (for handling drinking water).
- Very high impact resistance (not breaking, even crushing).
- The increased safety factor in rating pressure and duration of the pipe.
- Lightweight material / Easy to carry and handle.
- Flexible material, adjusting to the terrain conditions in the installation process / high resistance to seismic activity.
- Easy installation by 100% hermetic and safe thermofusion (no packaging required).
- Low maintenance cost.
The durability of the pipeline is 70 years (minimum) in operating at a temperature of 23 ° C, respecting the pressures of Table 1.
