The advantages of Polyethylene • Flexibility: Polyethylene offers much more flexibility than the alternatives (metal, PVC, ABS, etc…). This means easier installation and the ability to use a trenchless technology for minimal environmental and public disruption. • Long service life: The service life of fittings made of high density Polyethylene is estimated service life to be minimum 50 years.
• Chemical resistance: Polyethylene is highly resistant to most chemicals.
• Corrosion resistance: Unlike traditional metal products, Polyethylene does not rust, rot or corrode.
• Light weighted: Polyethylene has much lower weight than metal or concrete alternatives. This means easier handling and installation.
• Eco friendly: Polyethylene is known for its minimal impact on the environment.
• Impact resistance: Polyethylene exhibits an excellent impact resistance, even at low temperatures.
• Smooth surface: The smooth surface of the Polyethylene results in no deposits and low abrasion of the surface compared to alternative pipe and materials. • Weathering: The Polyethylene used contains stabilizer pack which includes amongst other materials carbon black for long term UV protection. • Fusiblity: Polyethylene presents an excellent fusing ability. This feature is what makes Polyethylene the perfect material for welding connections.
