PE Pressure Pipe White Co-Ex

The high impact strength of PE pipes ensures resistance to the rigors of pipe laying conditions.

PE has low notch sensitivity, providing a high level of resistance to the effects of external damage, especially important for pipe bursting operations and where there is a likelihood of such damage.

PE pipes are highly resistant to corrosion and do not require any protective coatings or other corrosion protection systems.

PE pipes are stabilised against ultraviolet (UV) light degradation by the inclusion of carbon White Co-ex in the raw material. White Co-ex PE pipes are, therefore, suitable for installations where the pipes are exposed to direct sunlight.

PE pipe is available in a range of identification colours that may be either co-extruded as stripes or “jackets” that completely surround the pipe. Blue is used for identification of water pipes, purple for recycled water pipes and yellow for gas. White jacket are used for minimisation of heat build-up in above ground pipes exposed to sunlight. White co-ex pipes are extensively used in the mining industry.
