Product Range: LDPE & HDPE Solutions
LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) – The Irrigation Standard
LDPE is the preferred choice for low-pressure applications due to its exceptional flexibility and ease of installation.
-
Standard: Manufactured to SABS 533-1 dimensions.
-
Specs: 12mm to 80mm; Class 3 (3 Bar) & Class 6 (6 Bar).
-
Usage: Best for insert fittings. Ideal for drip irrigation and low-pressure garden systems.
-
Technical Edge: LDPE is highly resistant to impact and UV radiation, making it perfect for above-ground agricultural layouts where maneuverability around plants is essential.
HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) – High-Pressure Performance
HDPE is a more rigid, high-strength thermoplastic designed for demanding environments and higher pressure requirements.
-
Standard: Compliant with SANS ISO 4427 (PE 63, PE 80, PE 100).
-
Specs: 16mm to 110mm; Classes range from PN6 to PN20.
-
Usage: Best for compression or fusion fittings. Ideal for high-pressure water mains and industrial fluid transport.
-
Technical Edge: With a higher density and stronger molecular bond, HDPE offers superior tensile strength and can handle much higher internal pressures than LDPE. It is also suitable for trenchless installations.
