Polyethylene Piping for Industrial Applications

DriscoPlex® piping products meet or exceed performance needs for industrial applications. Advantages of using polyethylene pipe include:

  • High strength and stiffness to withstand internal pressure and external loads.
  • Chemical resistance to withstand corrosive chemicals (pH from I to 14), and aggressive soils.
  • Resistance to environmental stress cracking and slow crack growth for long-term resistance to internal pressure, external loads and harsh environments.
  • Flexibility, toughness, light weight, and impact resistance for lower cost installation, narrower trenches (reduced excavation), and fewer expensive fittings.
  • Heat fusion joining for strong, lifetime leak-tight, fully restrained joints.
  • Resilience for enhanced resistance to surge and fatigue.
  • Remains flexible at sub-freezing temperatures.
  • Retains long-term strength at elevated temperatures.
  • Long-term strength for extended life and performance.
  • Does not rust, rot, corrode, or support biological growth.
  • Retains low resistance to liquid flows for reduced pumping and operating costs.

Industrial applications include:

  • Industrial Process Piping
  • Dredging, Slurry and Flyash Lines
  • Temporary Bypass Pumping
  • Outfalls and Diffusers
  • Chemical Mineral Extraction
  • Chemical and Corrosive Wastes
