Description
HDPE 52505 UV – High-Density Polyethylene for Outdoor Pressure Pipe Applications
Product Overview
HDPE 52505 UV is a premium-grade high-density polyethylene produced by jam petrochemical Co specifically engineered for pressure pipe applications requiring long-term durability, UV resistance, and excellent environmental performance. This grade is tailored for the production of water and gas distribution pipes, irrigation systems, and other outdoor piping applications where exposure to sunlight and harsh climates is a concern.
Manufactured with advanced catalyst technology and UV stabilizers, HDPE 52505 UV ensures high performance even in extreme environmental conditions. It combines outstanding mechanical strength, long-term creep resistance, and exceptional environmental stress crack resistance (ESCR), making it ideal for demanding applications that require both safety and longevity.
Key Features
-
UV Resistance
This grade includes a carefully selected UV stabilizer package that protects the pipes from degradation due to prolonged sunlight exposure, preventing embrittlement and color fading over time. -
High ESCR
The superior environmental stress crack resistance helps maintain the integrity of the pipe even under high pressure and external mechanical stresses. -
Excellent Long-Term Hydrostatic Strength (LTHS)
HDPE 52505 UV ensures long service life under continuous pressure, making it suitable for infrastructure projects with strict durability standards. -
Good Processability
This resin offers smooth extrusion performance and uniform pipe wall thickness, ensuring production efficiency and consistent product quality. -
Resistance to Chemicals and Corrosion
In addition to mechanical durability, the material is resistant to a wide range of chemicals commonly found in soil and water systems.
Typical Applications
-
Water Supply and Distribution Pipelines
Used in municipal and rural systems for reliable water delivery over decades of operation. -
Gas Transportation Lines
Meets the stringent requirements of gas distribution due to its long-term strength and stress resistance. -
Irrigation Systems
Ensures reliable flow and withstands environmental exposure in agricultural applications. -
Industrial and Infrastructure Projects
Applied in drainage, wastewater handling, and cable protection conduits where both strength and UV resistance are essential.
