(Also referred to as toughness) This might be one of the most important properties needed in transferring fluids. It is mainly about how strongly this material can withstand a sudden internal or external hit (normally for a buried pipe, a sudden pressure wave inside pipe). This property reports the amount of energy this material is capable of absorbing before deforming.
Despite being very rigid, HDPE stays a polymer material, and this means high degree of elasticity and flexibility. The implications of this are high impact resistance, flexibility and minimum possibility of damaging HDPE material because of rough trench conditions or reduction of massive number of bends. This characteristic also implies that using these flexible pipes is safer especially in applications that need seismic protection.
The operational safe temperature range of HDPE starts in the cold side from -40°C and ends in the hot side at about 100°C, and this range includes most of applications except the heating applications.
The PE pipe interior is very smooth and guarantees decent flow. Not only this, the smoothness lifetime is much larger than that of steel or ductile iron because PE doesn't rust or rot. The free flow eliminates the possibility of internal deposits which make the inner diameter smaller.
High yield strength, high toughness, and high tensile stress the HDPE resists hard ambience. Even if the bedding used for this type of pipes contains large granules of rock and sand, this material can withstand up to granule diameter size of 65 mm which is really superb.
This property is an extension of thermal resistance and wear resistance properties, which means it can be left in any weather no matter how hard it is and nothing will happen to it. AL-RAJHI PIPES HDPE products are UV stabilised carbon black protected.
This is one of the most useful properties of HDPE that make it suitable for the applications where it necessary to secure absence of heat leakage either in or out, like HVAC applications.
This is another property that assures it is always very safe to use HDPE pipes even close to the areas where electric wires may pass or cross. HDPE is bad conductor for electric current.
This property is inherent from the fact that the HDPE material is inert so the water inside will always be clean and safe. This is a big advantage when HDPE is compared to metal pipes for conveyance of potable drinking water.
Many technicians always complain that the welding remains a critical process for the metal pipes, because, the rigidity of metal prevents the full homogeneity of the welding area. While with HDPE, welding is more powerful especially in butt welding, that makes the Joints share same properties of the pipe, and even are stronger.
The main process used for manufacturing HDPE pipes is extrusion which is a hot forming process, that ensures high homogeneity for the end product, which leads to homogeneous formation of the molten material at the time of welding.
The HDPE is friendly for pre-fabrication to make customised products, for example segmented fittings can be pre-fabricated from the pipes of same SDR.
The light weight nature of HDPE pipes and fittings makes it easy for handling and installation in comparison to other materials.

Some suppliers provide 3m & 12m lengths
PN6, PN10, PN12.5, PN16 (indicating pressure capacity in bar)
PVC pipes are essential for various construction applications across the UAE:
Used for cold and hot water supply systems in residential and commercial buildings.
Essential for sewage networks, stormwater drainage, and waste disposal systems.
Used in landscaping, agriculture, and golf course irrigation throughout the UAE.
Protects electrical cables with flame retardant and non-conductive properties.
Used in air conditioning systems and fire protection pipelines.
Protects underground cables and provides ducting for telecom infrastructure.
