HDPE stands for high density polyethylene (many times just referred to as PE), and is made from ethylene, which can be derived from either crude oil or natural gas. Polyethylene is the most widely known mass produced plastic material. Pipe grade high density and medium density polyethylenes have established themselves in piping systems as the material of first choice. PE Pipe is extremely strong, durable, flexible, corrosion free and chemical resistant.
Pipe grade PE is used for buried gas and water piping. It has become the dominant piping material in this sphere of application in many countries, due to outstanding advantages which include:
- Low weight
- flexibility
- low friction losses
- ductile fracture properties
- toughness down to very low temperatures
- free from harmful affects of soil salinity and UV radiation
- good resistence against acids and caustic substances
- no reaction with sea water
- it neither sustains biological activity nor succubs to its chemical by-products (unlike PVC)
Superflo PE pipes are manufactured with FDA approved food grade raw materials imported from the leading polyethylene manufacturers such as Borouge, Total, Etilinas and Sabic. The resin is compatible with foodstuffs, is odorless, tasteless and physiologically safe.The high quality of raw material processed on the state of the art machines under strict quality standards results in the production of high quality PE pipes that are safe for health and conform with the international standards.
Superflo pipes are available in the following sizes:
