3  

 Joint

PE pipe is normally joined by butt fusion method which creates a joint that is as strong as or stronger than the pipe itself, and is virtually leak-free. 

4  

 Leak Proof

Butt-fused joints create a homogenous, monolithic joint leading to leak proof system.

5  

Corrosion Resistance & Biological Effects

RFL HDPE pipes are highly resistant to rust, rot, and corrosion. They are non-conductive and inert, making them immune to galvanic and electrochemical corrosion. Both the interior and exterior of RFL HDPE pipes do not rust or corrode. Additionally, these pipes are not affected by biological factors and do not degrade. They are not digestible and do not contain substances that attract animals like rodents. The smooth and flexible surfaces of RFL HDPE pipes do not cause abrasion to rodents' teeth, unlike steel or other materials.

6  

 Chemical Resistance 

PE pipe has excellent chemical resistance.

7  

 UV Protection

Black PE pipe containing 2% (Max) carbon black can be safely used outside in the sun without damage from UV exposure.

8  

 Impact &  Toughness

Tough and good impact resistance.

9  

 Pressure Ratings & Diameter  

PE pipe is available in various sizes up to 1400 mm dia. And pressure rating of PN-6, PN-8, PN-10, PN-12.5, PN-16 and PN-20.

10 

 Lightweight

PE pipe is lighter than metal or concrete pipes, making it easier to handle and install in comparison.

11 

 Flexibility

PE pipe is highly flexible and can be bent to navigate obstacles and directional changes, with a minimum bending radius of 20 to 40 times the pipe diameter.

12 

 Coiled pipe

PE pipe is also available in coil from up to 75 mm dia. With specific SDR.

        13  

Earth Quake / Soil settlement resistance

RFL HDPE pipes exhibit excellent resistance to environmental stress cracking, making them suitable for earthquake-prone areas and soil settlement conditions. Their high stainability under stress surpasses that of conventional pipes, ensuring they do not fail under prism loads or soil settlement caused by seasonal changes. This resilience makes RFL HDPE pipes reliable and durable in challenging conditions.

14 

 Water hammer

The water hammer effect in the RFL HDPE pipes are the lowest when conventional 1pipes for similar operating conditions, thereby reducing the safety appurtenances in the system as well the cost of maintenance.
