Benefits of polyethylene pipes:

Polyethylene pipes don’t have any taste or smell; they are durable and have good insulation properties;
Polyethylene pipes are lightweight and easy to install.
Polyethylene pipes are durable and corrosion-resistant against most solvents, acids, alkalis and oils.
Polyethylene pipes have long usage life – at least 50 years according to the standard EN12201.
Due to their smooth inner surface, polyethylene pipes have very little pressure loss. If any sediment settles on the inside surface at all, its amount is insignificant.
Due to low heat conductivity of polyethylene, these pipes are less at risk of freezing damage.
Due to good elasticity of polyethylene, PE pipes with the diameter of 20-110 can be produced and delivered in rolls.
As polyethylene is flexible, soil shifts due to climate effects and smaller direction changes caused during installation are of no problem to the constructor.
As polyethylene pipes are usually connected by fusing them together (butt welding or electric welding), these pipes are leak-proof.
