Selecting the right grade

With so many different uses for poly pipe there are also different types, so it’s important to choose the most suitable grade, pressure rating and safety factor for your specific application. The different grades are as follows:

HDPE (high density polyethylene) – due to its high chemical resistance and abrasion resistance, this is used for conveying chemicals, potable water, compressed air, waste water and a host of other applications.
LDPE (low density polyethylene) – Primarily used in micro irrigation, low pressure drip irrigation, rural irrigation and stock watering applications.
