Polyethylene formed by the polymerization of ethylene, are tough, waxy materials of varying flexibility. For pipe applications, they are generally formulated with only an anti-oxidant and some pigment or other substance designed to screen out ultraviolet radiation in sunlight.
Polyethylene pipe products are protected against deterioration from exposure to ultraviolet light and weathering. Black pipes contains 2 to 3% carbon black to protect them from UV deterioration.
Salient Features
- High corrosion resistance, resulting into a longer life.
- High impact strength.
- Extremely light weight and hence easy to handle.
- High flexibility.
- High abrasion resistance.
- Excellent water hammer characteristic helps, sustaining surges.
- Excellent flow characteristic leading to significant energy savings.
- Shifting soils-no breakage.
- Earthquake resistance.
- No Exfiltaration and infiltration, helps maintain the quality of fluids being conveyed.
- High UV resistance to scaling and biological build up.
- High chemical resistance, absolutely inert to any p-II value.
- Emergency connection possible.
