High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is the material of choice for long-distance water, slurry, and gas mains where flexibility, fatigue resistance, and joint integrity matter. Our PE100-grade HDPE pipe is extruded from virgin material and pressure-tested to ISO 4427 / ISO 12162 standards.

Where it's specified

  • Municipal water mains — potable water distribution and trunk lines
  • Irrigation — sub-main and lateral lines for drip, sprinkler, and flood systems
  • Mine dewatering & slurry transfer — fatigue-resistant under cyclic pressure
  • Sea outfalls & marine intakes — corrosion-immune in salt water
  • Gas distribution networks (yellow-stripe variant, low-pressure gas)
  • Storm-water mains and gravity sewers

Why HDPE

  • Butt-fusion and electro-fusion joints — fully homogeneous, zero leak points
  • 50-year design life at rated pressure & 20 °C per ISO 12162
  • Highly flexible — coilable up to Ø110 mm, navigates terrain without elbows
  • Resistant to ground movement, freezing, abrasion, and fatigue cycling
  • Immune to internal & external corrosion; no cathodic protection required
  • Smooth bore (Manning's n = 0.009) — lower friction, lower pumping cost

Joining methods

Available with butt-fusion ends (Ø63 mm+), electro-fusion couplers, and compression fittings (smaller diameters). Our technical team can recommend the right joining strategy for the project's pressure class and installation conditions.

Manufactured in PN6.3, PN8, PN10, PN12.5, PN16, PN20, and PN25 per ISO 4427. Diameters from Ø20 mm to Ø1,000 mm (large-diameter to order).
