The Polyethylene
Difference
National Plastics PE pipes are made from 100% virgin
polyethylene and only contain UV stabilizers and pigments
necessary for the pipes to conform to the specifications.
Pipes contain minimum of 2.5% carbon black. All pipes
are black in color for maximum UV resistance and suitable
for drinking water and potable water supplies.

National Plastic pipes are produced in HDPE, LLDPE and

LDPE material. HDPE pipes are produced in a number of
design stresses against the standards ISO, DIN, EN and have
a design coefficient "C" of not less than 1.25 to the MRS of the
material as set out in Table 1 and Table 2.

HDPE pipes can be produced in PE63, PE80 or PE100 material.
