What Is HDPE Double Layer Co-Extrusion Pipe
HDPE Double Layer Co-Extrusion Pipe is an advanced type of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe manufactured using a co-extrusion process, where two distinct layers of HDPE are fused together during production. This design enhances the pipe"s structural integrity, durability, and performance in various applications, particularly in drainage, sewage, and industrial fluid transport systems.
Key Features:
Dual-Layer Structure:
Outer Layer: Typically made of virgin HDPE for superior UV resistance, toughness, and environmental protection.
Inner Layer: Often incorporates recycled HDPE or specially formulated material for smooth flow, abrasion resistance, and chemical resistance.
Co-Extrusion Technology:
The two layers are extruded simultaneously, ensuring a strong molecular bond without delamination risks.
Advantages Over Single-Layer Pipes:
Higher Strength & Impact Resistance (due to optimized material composition).
Better Corrosion & Chemical Resistance (suitable for aggressive effluents).
Smoother Inner Surface (reduces friction, improving flow efficiency).
UV Protection (outer layer shields against sunlight degradation).
Cost-Effective (inner layer can use recycled material without compromising performance).
Common Applications:
Stormwater & Drainage Systems
Sewage & Wastewater Networks
Industrial Effluent Discharge
Landfill Leachate Collection
Road & Tunnel Drainage
