Due to their durability and excellent temperature, chemical, and impact resistance, HDPE pipes and fittings are best used for high demand applications. These include water, gas, and sewer mains, fire system supply lines, electrical and communications wiring and cabling, and drainage.
Fusion machines are used for jointing polyethylene pipes. As the leading HDPE pipe and fittings manufacturers in the UAE, we provide the most rugged and technically advanced fusion machines to our customers on either rental or sale basis.
At Polyfab Plastic, our HDPE drainage systems are the ultimate solution for all types of drainage applications including soil & waste, above ground, below ground and chemical waste management. These pipes and fittings are manufactured according to the latest European EN 1519 – 1 standard and can be assembled along with butt-fusion, electro-fusion, flanges or rubber ring joints.
HDPE drainage systems are capable of outstanding chemicals resistance; high temperature rating, flexibility, and low noise. These features make them an ideal selection for residential and industrial buildings, laboratories, hospitals and hotels.
Aside from pipes, our HDPE pipe fittings catalog also has a variety of accessories to complete your piping system projects.

HDPE pipe is a type of plastic pipe made from thermoplastic high-density polyethylene (HDPE).
HDPE pipes have high impermeability, making them the best option for high-pressure pipelines. They are durable, chemical- and corrosion-resistant, light, and easy to transport, making them cost-effective options for fluid and gas piping systems. They can last for 50 to 100 years and are also recyclable.
HDPE stands for high-density polyethylene. This material is made by applying intense heat to petroleum under controlled conditions. This process, which is called cracking, also creates ethylene gas. During production, gas molecules attach to the sheet to form polymers, which produce polyethylene. The polyethylene will be placed through different molds, becoming granules. After the molding stages, a strong polymer material, the HDPE, is produced.
HDPE is a type of thermoplastic polymer. It is composed of a string of ethylene molecules prepared through a catalytic process. Ziegler–Natta, Phillips (chromium or silica), and metallocene catalysts are some of the common catalysts used in the process.
The resulting polyethylene sheet is strong, durable, lightweight and easy to shape. Its versatility makes it one of the most popular and widely used plastics for a wide range of applications.
Yes, in certain aspects. For one, HDPE is tougher and more durable than PVC, which makes it more resistant to cracking, impact and other damages caused by the environment. HDPE pipes are better than PVC at withstanding high pressure and heavy loads.
HDPE pipes and fittings are also more flexible and easier to recycle than PVC pipes. However, if you’re looking for cost-effective pipes for transporting hazardous, corrosive chemicals, PVC products are your best option. They provide exceptional chemical resistance and are more affordable than HDPE products.
Yes. HDPE pipes are safe. They are non-toxic, corrosion-resistant, and do not impart odors or tastes, making them the ideal option for potable water supply applications.
Since HDPE pipe fittings and pipes can handle extreme temperatures, they can maintain their structural integrity even in the coldest and hottest weather conditions, ensuring water and other substances being transported won’t be compromised. The chemical-resistant quality of HDPE pipes ensures chemicals will not leak from the pipe into the water or liquid, making the substance safe for consumption or use.
HDPE is a widely used material for various products and applications in different industries.
Engineering and plumbing professionals prefer to use HDPE because of its durability and cost efficiency. HDPE pipes can withstand temperatures ranging from -220 to 180 degrees Fahrenheit and most chemical interactions, making it useful for industrial applications.
HDPE has an outstanding fatigue resistance and is pressure-rated to handle water distribution. Thanks to its flexibility, this type of plastic is also suitable for underground use in earthquake-prone areas.
Moreover, HDPE pipes are corrosion-resistant and do not promote microbial growth, which makes them perfect for transporting potable water. Because they can last between 50 to 100 years, HDPE piping systems are also considered a cost-efficient choice.
HDPE is one of the general-use plastics that can withstand sunlight exposure. However, extended exposure to more intense UV light can gradually degrade the material.
That said, HDPE pipes manufactured for outdoor use are fortified with UV protection to ensure durability and safe use. Such protection can come in the form of carbon black. Outdoor HDPE pipes may need a minimal concentration of 2 percent carbon black to withstand above-ground or exterior piping applications.
Due to their durability and excellent temperature, chemical, and impact resistance, HDPE pipes and fittings are best used for high demand applications. These include water, gas, and sewer mains, fire system supply lines, electrical and communications wiring and cabling, and drainage.
