PE

PE – polyethylene - is the polyolefin thermoplastic material that is most commonly used in civil piping and, to a lesser extent, in industrial applications. This material is available on the market in the PE 100 bimodal version, which has replaced the previous PE 80 monomodal and the subsequent PE 80 bimodal version. PE 80 is still manufactured for piping (particularly for gas distribution), they can be welded to both materials. An exception is the PE EL line, which is fully manufactured with PE 80.
