Polyethylene piping can be used in a variety of water distribution applications and provides exceptional strength and flexibility combined with favourable mechanical and chemical resistance properties. Polytubes offers a suite of products specifically designed for various applications.
Polytubes is the largest Canadian manufacturer of Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) resin in the production of Polypipe products. LLDPE pipe has significant advantages the lower-grade Low-Density Polyethene (LDPE) resin that is typically used in the industry. Some of the many advantages include:
Polytubes has been manufacturing Coiled Polyethylene since 1953. The application for this product has evolved from general use utility pipe to Potable Water applications. The Polytubes product slate consists of various PE materials offering different performance for each intended application.
LLDPE is not as easy to process as LDPE, has lower gloss, and costs more than LDPE to produce. For these reasons very few manufacturers choose to use LLDPE over LDPE resin. LLDPE material will be found in the following Polytubes’ products:
Polytubes recognized the need for products engineered specific to certain water applications. For this reason, Polytubes has employed the use of Medium Density Polyethylene to take advantage of the higher tensile properties needed for these stressful environments. MDPE is CSA certified and used in the following products:
Prime 100 Series 100
Polydrop Blue and/or Food Grade Potable
Star 75
