Market growth is being driven by expanding use of HDPE pipe in municipal water and gas distribution networks, rising adoption in irrigation and sewerage infrastructure, steady demand from construction, mining, and industrial sectors, and growing uptake in telecommunications ducting worldwide.
Latest News and Developments:
- January 2025: LyondellBasell (LYB), a supplier of polyolefin technologies, announced that Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) chose its Hostalen Advanced Cascade Process technology for establishing a new high density polyethylene plant in Paradip, India. The plant will use the licensed process to produce polyethylene for the polyolefin market.
Product Description
HDPE pipe is a thermoplastic pipe made from high density polyethylene, a polyolefin in the polyethylene family. The polymer consists of long hydrocarbon chains of repeating ethylene units, written C2H4 in Hill notation. Pipe grade resin generally has a narrow molecular weight distribution. The pipe is opaque black, usually marked with stripes identifying service duty. It is insoluble in water, resistant to most acids and alkalis, and not subject to soil corrosion. The material stays tough at low temperatures, coils readily in smaller diameters, and is joined by butt fusion or electrofusion. Its smooth bore limits friction loss and resists abrasion in slurry service. Industrially it serves the water, gas, sewerage, mining, agriculture, construction, and telecommunications sectors. In end use it is extruded into potable water mains, gas service lines, drainage pipes, irrigation laterals, and protective conduit. The resin is commonly produced by catalytic polymerization of ethylene, and the pipe is formed by continuous extrusion with sizing and cooling.
