Polyethylene (PE)  is  a thermoplastic material that belongs  to  a group  of polymers called  polyolefins which   is   produced   from the  polymerization   of ethylene. Polyethylene  is  usually first categorized by its density as indicated in the abbreviations  e.g. HDPE (high density PE), MDPE   (medium density PE), LDPE (low density PE) and LLDPE (linear low density PE).  PE plastic  pipe  is manufactured   by  extrusion and  depending  upon diameter required is available   in  either  coils  or   in  straight   lengths.
Polyethylene pipe is corrosion resistant  and has  a long history of use as an abrasion resistant material in  mining  applications.  It  is  lightweight,  easy  to 

install, and reduces the number of fittings needed in a system because of its  flexibility. Heat  fused  polyethylene   pipe  produces  a  leak  free  joint  that  is as strong, if  not stronger, than the pipe itself  in  tension and  pressure  applications. These  joints  are     self-restrained,they need no thrust blocks or restraint harnesses except where the pipe attaches to a non-polyethylene system.
