PE Pipes and Fittings

PE (Polyethylene)

PE, or Polyethylene, is a versatile engineering plastic offering excellent chemical resistance, impact strength, and durability. It is available in various grades—HDPE, LDPE, and UHMWPE—each suited for specific applications. PE operates in temperatures from -50°C to 80°C, making it a reliable choice for industrial and commercial uses.
 
Types of PE:
HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene): Known for high strength, stiffness, and excellent resistance to chemicals and UV. Common in piping, tanks, and outdoor applications.
LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene): Flexible with good impact resistance and transparency. Ideal for packaging, liners, and lightweight applications.
UHMWPE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene): Exceptional wear resistance, low friction, and high impact strength. Used in conveyor parts, liners, and heavy-duty applications.
