1. HDPE Pipes Have a Great Future
What is it that makes High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipes such a craze among pipe
manufacturers? Answer to that question is this material increases the longevity of the
pipes. It protects them from corrosion and makes them absolutely immune to aging. That
is the reason the history of the usage of these HDPE pipes is 49 years old.
These pipes were first used in various countries in all over Europe. However, the kind of
HDPE that is used these days is far more sophisticated and has better resistance against
corrosion. It is seen that a pipe that was buried since 1982 was protected from aging
thanks to what some industry experts call second generation HDPE.
The PEX pipes that have this kind of polyethylene not only last longer than ordinary
metal pipes but preserve all kinds of antioxidants has made these pipes so unique. They
have a great resistance towards water pressure.
This is the reason that most of the house owners are now a days going for plastic pipes.
Apart from their practical purpose these pipes also have an economical side as well.
These pipes are not at all expensive and thus will help you save some money.
These HDPE pipes are also very easy to install. You will not have to have a Herculean
strength to install them. They are very lightweight, which makes it easier also to carry
them. These qualities definitely make these pipes ideal for homes as well as business
houses. Polyethylene pipes are better from pipes that are made of steel or concrete. It can
be said that this kind of pipes have taken construction to a new level and they are the
latest trends of the day.
In 2008 when the pipe industry saw a decline of about 15 percent in the United Sates the
sales of HDPE pipes also came down but they stayed ahead in comparison to that of PVC
pipes. This shows the kind of favorable image this kind of pipes have. Moreover,
according to a survey it is very much expected that the market of these HDPE pipes will
see an increase in demand by at least 10 percent. The corrugated HDPE pipe market too
is expected to rise by 15 percent.
Considering all these scenarios the suppliers and manufacturers of HDPE pipes have
enough reason to even in this tough financial time. This is a technology that really has a
very bright future.
