Poliplex PE100 Pipe

Polyethylene (PE) pipes offer exceptional performance for both above and below ground applications. PE Pipes have a complete range of available fittings and very long asset life. PE pipes have been produced in Australia since the mid 1950’s, whilst initially in smaller diameters for industrial and agricultural applications, PE pipe and fittings are now available in diameters up to 2000mm. Usage of PE pipes across a broad range of industries and applications has grown rapidly since this period and polyethylene resins are evolving from the traditional PE100. The growing demand for higher performance and longer-life PE pipes has driven us to develop a PE pipe system that will provide reliable service for 100 years or more.

Applications

POLIplex^® high pressure polyethylene pipes are used to convey all types of liquids and gases for above and below ground applications including:

• Urban water and gas supply
• Mine dewatering
• Irrigation supply
• Slurry pipelines
• Vacuum, pressure and gravity sewer systems
• Submarine pipelines and ocean outfalls
• Trenchless pipeline installation and rehabilitation
• Industrial process pipe work
• Compressed air services
• Electrical and telecommunication cable conduits
• Upstream coal seam gas and water pipeline

Advantages

POLlplex^® polyethylene pipes offer industry leading benefits, making them highly effective in industrial, agricultural and civil applications. Benefits of PE100 pipes include:

• Long length pipes available
• Full axial restraint which eliminates the need for thrust blocks
• Low celerity material minimises water hammer
• UV stability for above ground pipelines
• Rust and corrosion free
• Long length pipes available to minimise amount of joints
• Complete range of fittings
• Weldable using butt and electrofusion methods
• High ring stiffness for deeply buried pipelines
• Excellent abrasion resistance
• Possibility of 100+ year asset life
