HDPE/DWC

HDPE Pipes (High-Density Polyethylene):

Material: HDPE pipes are made from high-density polyethylene, a thermoplastic polymer known for its high strength-to-density ratio.

Applications: HDPE pipes are widely used in water supply, irrigation, gas distribution, industrial processes, and sewage systems.

Advantages:
  • Corrosion-resistant
  • Lightweight
  • Flexible
  • Durable
  • Chemically inert
  • Smooth inner surface, reducing friction and promoting efficient flow
  • Long lifespan

DWC Pipes (Double Wall Corrugated):

Material: The outer layer is usually made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and the inner layer can be made of various materials, including HDPE, PVC, or PP.

Applications: DWC pipes are commonly used for underground cable protection, drainage systems, and in some cases, for sewer systems.

Advantages:
  • High crush resistance
  • Lightweight
  • Easy installation
  • Flexible, making them suitable for installation in difficult terrains
  • Resistant to corrosion and abrasion

OPVC Pipes (Oriented PVC):

Material: OPVC pipes are made from oriented polyvinyl chloride, a type of PVC that undergoes a special orientation process to enhance its mechanical properties.

Applications: OPVC pipes are often used in water supply and distribution systems, irrigation, and other applications where a non-corrosive material is required.

Advantages:
  • Corrosion-resistant
  • Smooth inner surface, reducing friction
  • Good chemical resistance
  • Lightweight
  • Easy to install
  • Durable
  • Cost-effective
