Over time, the effects of the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) radiation can degrade plastic. Designed for use in high temperatures and ideal for above ground installations, our PE100 pipe is manufactured with a highly reflective white external skin which significantly reduces heat absorption.
During manufacture the white outer layer is co-extruded with the inner black pipe wall and forms an integral part of the pipe.
Extensive testing has proved that heat absorption is greatly reduced, whilst maintaining UV stability, compared to standard black PE pipe under the same conditions.
As with all the pipe in our range, our co-extruded white is manufactured to meet or exceed the specifications of AS/NZS 4130: PE Pipes for Pressure Applications.
