Drinking Water
Exceptionally durable PE water pipes from BorSafe™
Water scarcity is a critical global issue, with over 20% of the world’s population lacking an adequate supply of clean drinking water. Managing and conserving water is a significant infrastructure challenge, requiring the expansion and improvement of many distribution systems. Polyethylene (PE) pipes are valuable to these efforts, providing greater durability, resistance to corrosion, and ease of installation than those made from traditional materials such as copper or concrete.
We offer a broad range of BorSafe™ PE grades for water pipe networks, covering applications from distribution mains to household connections. These cost-effective solutions meet or surpass stringent international standards for drinking water and offer outstanding durability, lasting for many years with minimal maintenance, supporting you to meet the needs of major infrastructure projects.
Benefits of Our Polyolefin Materials
- High Flexibility: PE pipes are flexible, enabling them to follow the curves of trenches and also to be coiled and wound on drums in sizes up to 180mm diameter.
- Superior durability: Corrosion-free and resistant to chemicals, these grades support you to create pipes with an expected service lifetime of over 100 years.
- Enhanced sustainability: Materials that enable pipes to be installed using modern, trenchless technologies, minimizing landscape disturbance. After a long service life, they can also be recycled to become part of the circular economy.
