HDPE base resins are manufactured in a low-pressure process, resulting in a chain structure with small side branches and a material density range of 0,930-0,960 g/cm3. HDPE materials qualify as PE80 and PE100 in accordance with ISO 4427.

HDPE materials are widely used in both pressure and non pressure applications such as water supply, drains, outfalls, and sewers in pipe sizes up to 1000 mm diameter. The increased stiffness of HDPE is used to advantage in such applications as electrical and communications conduits,
drainage, sewer and storm water.

ADVANTAGES:

•  Lightweight. The density of PE materials is only 0,93-0,96 g/cm3. The weight of PE pipe is much less than that of concrete, cast iron, or steel pipe. The PE piping system is easy to handle and install, and reduced manpower and equipment requirements may result in installation savings.
• Flexibility. In some instances, the pipe's flexibility may remarkably eliminate the usage of fittings and greatly reduce installation costs. HDPE pipe can be bent to a minimum radius between 20 to 40 times the diameter of pipe, which mainly depends on the SDR of the certain pipe.
• Chemical and corrosion resistance. VASEN HDPE fittings and pipe have an excellent corrosion resistance against the majority of chemical substances in systems of potable water, irrigation, sanitary and drains. The PEAD is anti-corrosive and it is not oxidized long time.
• Odorless and insipid.
• Electrical insulating. The PEAD is an electrical conductive and it is not damaged, oxidized or corroded due to the electrolytic action.
• Thermal insulating.
• Low friction coefficient.
• Abrasion resistance. The high resistance to abrasion, flexibility, light weight, and robustness of HDPE VASEN fittings and pipes, has led to their wide usage in applications such as transportation of slurries and mine tailings.
• Ease of installation and union. Electrofusion and butt fusion.
• Recyclable.
• Long expectancy life. When the temperature is 20°C, the expectancy life is 50 years.
