Everything You Need to Know About Polyethylene Pipes and HDPE Pipes
With the development of water, sewage and irrigation network implementation technologies, polyethylene pipes Especially High-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes has becomeThe first choice for many contractors and major projects in Egypt, thanks to its excellent properties and high efficiency in transporting water and liquid materials.
What Are Polyethylene Pipes?
Polyethylene pipes are pipes made of a thermoplastic material known as polyethylene, which is characterised by its flexibility and high resistance to corrosion and chemicals.
What Is the Difference Between Regular Polyethylene and High-density Polyethylene (hdpe)?
| Element | Polyethylene | High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) |
| Density | Low to medium | very high |
| Usage | Small lines – light irrigation | Main water and sewer lines |
| Resistance | Good | Very excellent |
| Life expectancy | 20-30 years | +50 years |
| Heat tolerance | up to approximately 60°C | Up to 100°C (depending on thickness and quality) |
| Chemical resistance | Good | Excellent |
| Common uses | Light irrigation, small networks, domestic drainage | Drinking water, main sewer, gas lines, heavy industries |
| Hardness | flexible and less rigid | Very solid and durable |
Uses of HDPE Pipes
- Water and sewage networks.
- Agricultural irrigation lines.
- Natural gas connections.
- Industrial drainage systems.
- Infrastructure extensions in new cities.
Advantages of HDPE Pipes in Infrastructure Projects
- Corrosion and leakage resistance: Heat welding provides airtight seams.
- Withstands high and low temperatures.
- Flexible installation: Suitable for deep graves and rough terrain.
- Lightweight and easy to transport.
- Long life and low maintenance.
