Pollux group has entered the HDPE pipe business and has developed solid dealer network across Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka and AndraPradesh.Pollux Industries Private Limited product covers HDPE pipes and fittings, push on fittings, electro fusion fittings, compression fittings and butt fusion fittings. Pollux HDPE pipes equipped with most automatic extrusion lines for making pipes ranging from 16mm od to 355mm od of pressure range pn 2.5 to pn 16.
PE PIPES are one of the two largest thermoplastic pipelines available and by far the most versatile. Polyethylene is a wax like 3 thermoplastic with a density varying from a range of 934 kg/m 3 to 960 kg/m which is less then that of water. The only two additives that are added to polyethylene are carbon black with a limit of 2-3% to add some reinforcing effect to increase its weathering properties and some anti-oxidant to a limit of 0.3%. We mostly use black pre-compounded PE material. HDPE having comparatively high molecular weight is high in abrasion resistance and impact strength. It is also very good in stress cracking resistance and has low creep rupture properties. It is excellent in insulation properties over a wide range of frequencies and good chemical properties.
Even in heavy-loaded areas, when only the strongest galvanized iron, cement pipe survive, plastic in the form of HDPE has scored beyond doubt as an ideal substitute. Hdpe is today, the internationally preferred piping material across an unbelievable range of applications (when strength & long life are key requirements). Hdpe is also capable of handling even semi-solid and gaseous effluents and displays unmatched resistance to corrosive chemicals. In other words where metal, cement and other forms of plastics fail to perform, hdpe pipes excel.
