• Electrical conduits

• Communication conduits

• Stormwater pipes

• Drainage pipes

The Benefits of High-Density Polyethylene Pipes

HDPE pipes offer several significant benefits, making them a popular choice in various applications, particularly in plumbing and water supply systems.

Here are some of the key advantages:

Corrosion Resistance

HDPE pipes are highly resistant to corrosion, a common problem in metal pipes.

This resistance extends the lifespan of the drainage pipes significantly.

Chemical Resistance

They can withstand exposure to a variety of chemicals, making them suitable for industrial applications where pipes might be exposed to harsh substances.

Flexibility

HDPE pipes are more flexible and lightweight than traditional piping materials.

This flexibility allows for easier installation, especially in challenging terrains or in areas where the length of the pipe might need to bend around obstacles.

Leak-Proof Joints

The fusion process used to join HDPE pipes creates a leak-proof seal, significantly reducing the likelihood of leaks compared to traditional concrete pipe joining methods.

Durability and Toughness

These pipes are made from tough and durable materials, able to withstand high pressure and external impacts.

This makes them suitable for underground and undersea piping systems.

These are just a few ways your business can benefit from installing an HDPE pipework within your surrounding areas.

MORE INFORMATION

Types of HDPE Pipes

There are two main types of HDPE pipes these include:

HDPE 80

HDPE 80 refers to a grade of high-density polyethene with specific properties. It is a type of thermoplastic polymer made from petroleum.

The "80" in HDPE 80 typically denotes its density or some other characteristic specified by the manufacturer, as HDPE is available in various grades for different applications.

The exact specifications can vary based on the manufacturer's formulation and intended use.

HDPE 100

HDPE 100 refers to high-density polyethylene with a specific grade.

The "100" designation usually indicates a specific set of properties related to density, molecular weight, and strength.

HDPE 100 is a product commonly used in applications where high strength, durability, and resistance to chemicals and moisture are required.

These are often found in products like water pipes, storage containers, and plastic lumber.

What is HDPE Pipework?

HDPE pipework is piping made from high-density polyethylene. These pipelines are commonly found underground carrying a range of materials, including liquids and gasses because they have high resistance to chemicals.

As a reliable and robust material, the HDPE pipework can meet all your requirements and work effectively for you, regardless of your industry.

As the plastic is easy to install and maintain, this thick material is commonly used for pipes across the UK and has been proven to save businesses.

So if you are looking for ways to save yourself time and money, this is an excellent way to reduce expenses as you do not have to worry about repairs and damage to the underground tubes.

Let us know if you would like to receive further information regarding this material, and a member of the team will happily fill you in with all the details you require. 

Polyethylene Pipe

When transporting liquid and gasses from one location to another, you may worry about leaks and damage to the pipes and fittings. If this happens, it can be very damaging for your business as well as the surrounding environment.

This is why we suggest that you have solid polyethene pipes that are strong and reliable to reduce the chances of leakage. Not only will this save you time, but also money. 

Our specialist HDPE pipework has been proven to be effective for a long time, which means that you can place your pipelines in your chosen location and not worry about it for a long time.

Waste Pipe Near Me

When looking for an HDPE you will need to consider what materials will be passing through the pipes so that you're able to make the best decision regarding the type of tube that would suit you.

For example, if you are looking for pipeworks that will carry waste, HDPE pipe can be a brilliant option for you as there is a reduced chance of toxins released from the area.

You need to ensure that your tubes are thick enough to hold the liquids and strong enough for a large flow to pass through. 

The waste pipes meet all the standards of many organisations, including AWWA, NSF, ASTM, and many more, which allows the placement of flow tubes in a range of locations.

Depending on your budget and needs, we can also offer you a range of pipes in various sizes and thicknesses so you can always find what you need.

FAQs

What Does HDPE Stand For?

HDPE stands for High-Density Polyethylene. It is a type of thermoplastic polymer made from petroleum, known for its high strength-to-density ratio.

HDPE is used in the production of plastic bottles, corrosion-resistant piping, geomembranes, and plastic lumber. It's popular due to its durability, resistance to impact, and recyclability.

How are HDPE Pipes Joined Together?

HDPE pipes are typically joined together using a process called heat fusion, where the ends of the pipes are heated until they melt and then pressed together to form a strong, leak-proof joint.

This can be done using either butt fusion, where the pipe ends are directly heated and pressed together, or using electrofusion, where a special fitting with embedded heating elements is used to heat and fuse the pipes.

How Long Do HDPE Pipes Last?

HDPE pipes typically last 50 to 100 years, depending on factors like the pipe's quality, installation, environmental conditions, and the type of fluid transported.

Regular inspections and maintenance can extend their lifespan.

Are HDPE Pipes toxic when heated?

HDPE pipes can be toxic when heated. If sufficient care and measures are not taken during the production process, HDPE might be harmful. Polyethylene dust or resin, for example, can irritate the eyes, as can the fumes released when the resin is heated.

The properties of HDPE pipes are determined at standard temperatures of 20°C or 23°C. Otherwise, standard reduction factors can be applied in design, the highest being at 40 C.

Which is stronger HDPE or PVC?

Both HDPE and PVC pipes and fittings are more resistant to breakage at higher temperatures. PVC has a failure rate of one in 48,650 occurrences, whereas HDPE has a failure rate of one in 10,000,000. This indicator demonstrates that HDPE is more robust when exposed to adverse weather conditions.
