    Polyethylene is the most widely used plastic in the world. It is made from the polymerization of ethylene and comes in various types for different applications. High density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes are durable, flexible, and corrosion resistant, making them well-suited for plumbing uses like water distribution systems. HDPE pipes have significant advantages over other materials like corrosion resistance, extended service life, leak-free joints, and eco-friendliness. PE80 and PE100 are the most commonly used HDPE pipes for water distribution. HDPE pipes are also used for waste water systems due to their strength and durability.

    POLYETHYLENE

    REPORT BY:
    AARON PAUL ARCALA
    BSA – 2B
    AR. XETH KARLO BEILZA
    POLYETHYLENE
    • Polyethylene (PE), light, versatile synthetic resin made from the polymerization of ethylene.
    Polyethylene is a member of the important family of polyolefin resins. It is the most widely
    used plastic in the world, being made into products ranging from clear food wrap and shopping
    bags to detergent bottles and automobile fuel tanks. It can also be slit or spun into synthetic fibers
    or modified to take on the elastic properties of a rubber.
    • One of the toughest plumbing system pipe materials around, hdpe works well for nearly all
    plumbing uses. It’s durable, flexible and resists corrosion well. These pipes are available in long
    lengths, and any joints necessary are made using heat fusion, which is almost leak-proof. HDPE
    conserves water pressure because it creates minimal “drag” or friction that reduces water pressure.
    WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF POLYETHYLENE?

    • Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) is a very flexible material with very unique
    flow properties that makes it particularly suitable to plastic film applications
    like shopping bags. LDPE has high ductility but low tensile strength which is
    evident in the real world by its propensity to stretch when strained.
    • Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) is very similar to LDPE with the
    added advantage that the properties of LLDPE can be altered by adjusting
    the formula constituents and that the overall production process for LLDPE is
    typically less energy intensive than LDPE.
    WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF POLYETHYLENE?

    • High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is a strong, high density, moderately stiff


    plastic with a highly crystalline structure. It is frequently used as a plastic for
    milk cartons, laundry detergent, garbage bins, and cutting boards.
    • Ultrahigh Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW) is an extremely dense
    version of polyethylene with molecular weights typically an order of
    magnitude greater than HDPE. It can be spun into threads with tensile
    strengths many times greater than steel and is frequently incorporated into
    high performance equipment like bulletproof vests.
    POLYETHYLENE AS PIPE

    • High Density Polyethylene Pipe (HDPE) is a thermoplastic pipe made from material
    that can be melted and reformed. It is rugged, flexible, and durable. It has
    outstanding chemical and environmental stress crack resistance.
    • Relative to existing infrastructure, like ductile iron, concrete or PVC, HDPE seems like
    a new product. In reality, it has been successfully used in a wide variety of piping
    applications for over 50 years.
    • The outstanding physical and performance benefits of HDPE pipe make it the perfect
    choice for piping systems.
    ADVANTAGES OF POLYETHYLENE

    • Corrosion Resistance • Adaptability


    • Fatigue Resistance • Trenchless Installation
    • Extended Service Life • Pipeline Rehabilitation
    • Leak-Free Joints • Eco-Friendly
    • Fusion Joints
    HDPE PIPES FOR WATER SUPPLY

    Polyethylene pipes for water supply are used for constructing


    water-supply systems and are made from high density polyethylene.
    Polyethylene pipes are used for public, private and industrial water
    supply systems, including construction of underground, underwater
    and surface pipelines and water systems inside and outside
    buildings. Permanent and temporary heat load limits are 60ºC and
    80 ºC, respectively. The pipes are resistant to low temperatures,
    Owing to outstanding chemical resistance of HDPE, the material is
    highly resistant to strong acids and bases. In addition to this, the
    pipes are resistant to mild oxidants and reducing agents.
    MOST COMMONLY USED PIPES FOR WATER DISTRIBUTION
    IS PE80 AND PE100

    The advantages of the pipes produced from the PE80 and PE100 material
    include:
    • The material is absolutely non-toxic and fully inert in contact with water,
    • No impact on odour and taste of water
    • No deposits of lime are formed and consequently there is no narrowing of the gauge
    of water passage over long-term use,
    • UV-resistant and resistant to temperatures -30°C do +60°C,
    • Very low loss of pressure owing to friction coefficient 10 times lower than in steel
    pipes,
    • Easy assembly,
    • Easy for transport and handling
    HDPE PIPES FOR WASTE WATER
    There are several different pipe materials available for wastewater
    collection systems, each with a unique characteristic used in different conditions.
    DRAINAGE PIPES ( DRAINAGE SYSTEM )
    • The term drainage defines removing excess water from land. This has been
    quite common since the last 200 years. Although water collection occurs
    naturally but by means of drainage this natural process is expedited.
    • Most important usage of drains is in agriculture with the purpose of removing
    excess water of irrigation or rainfall. Applying underground drainage system
    provides the balance Waste Water pvc Pipe between water & oxygen of soil
    EXAMPLE PIPES USED FOR WASTE WATER
    POLYETHYLENE DOUBLE WALL CORRUGATED PIPE
    • a new type of plastic pipe . The smooth inside wall and the
    corrugated outside wall provides character with high strength,
    low weight, corrosion resistance, long life, easy install and easy
    join.

    PVC PIPES
    • used in all conceivable applications ranging from Agriculture to
    sanitation, bore well to electrical ducts because of low cost, low
    pressure features they became favorites of all farmers, builders and
    government departments.
