akpls PE 100 and PE 32 Pipes: The Reliable Foundation of Construction and Infrastructure

In modern construction and infrastructure projects, the safety, durability, and longevity of fluid transport systems are of critical importance. Polyethylene (PE) pipes have become indispensable in this field, revolutionizing the sector with their superior advantages over traditional materials. With nearly half a century of experience, Ak Pazarlama and our manufacturing power **akpls** are building the infrastructure of the future with our high-quality **PE 100 and PE 32 pipes**.

PE pipes stand out for their flexibility, corrosion resistance, lightweight nature, and leak-tightness, offering reliable and sustainable solutions for water, gas, and wastewater transport.

What is a Polyethylene (PE) Pipe? Our Raw Material Quality

Polyethylene is a high-density thermoplastic polymer. The unique structure of this material ensures that pipes perform exceptionally well even under challenging conditions. At akpls, we use the industry's most reliable and high-quality raw materials for PE pipe production: **PETKİM G03-5** and **JAM CRP-100**. These raw materials guarantee the durability, longevity, and resistance of our pipes against environmental factors. PE pipes are known for their ability to operate within a wide range of temperatures and pressures. One of their biggest advantages is their ability to be joined using heat fusion methods (butt fusion or electrofusion), creating a **leak-free, monolithic line**.

PE 100 and PE 32: Their Differences and Advantages

Polyethylene pipes are categorized into different classes based on their generations and Minimum Required Strength (MRS) values. The PE 100 and PE 32 pipes produced by akpls offer optimized solutions for different application needs:

PE 32 Pipes

• General Purpose and Flexible: An earlier generation PE material, designed to be resistant to pressure and impact.
• Environmental Resistance: Unaffected by atmospheric conditions and does not produce odors or bacteria.
• Hygienic and Chemical Resistance: Can be safely used for drinking water lines, agricultural irrigation, and liquid chemical transport. Offers high resistance to chemicals and a smooth inner surface.
• Flexibility: Their bendable structure facilitates repairs.

PE 100 Pipes

• High Performance and Third Generation: Possesses a High Minimum Required Strength (MRS) value of 10.0 MPa, allowing it to withstand much higher pressures with thinner walls compared to older PE grades (such as PE 80, PE 63, PE 32).
• Stress Crack Resistance (PE 100-RC): Especially **PE 100-RC** (Resistant to Crack) versions can be used in more demanding conditions and with trenchless installation methods (like horizontal drilling, relining) without the need for sand bedding.
• Superior Abrasion Resistance: Excellent for transporting fluids containing abrasive materials (e.g., wastewater main lines).
• Temperature and UV Resistance: Maintains elasticity even at temperatures as low as -40°C and is resistant to ultraviolet rays thanks to carbon black additive.
• Long-Lasting and Safe: Creates a leak-tight line for gas or water pressure networks, offering a service life of up to 100 years.

Common Advantages of akpls PE Pipes: Why Choose akpls?

The PE 100 and PE 32 pipes produced by akpls offer numerous common and distinct advantages for your projects:

• No Corrosion or Rust: Unlike metal pipes, they do not rust, corrode, or undergo chemical reactions. This provides a long-lasting and maintenance-free solution, especially in underground and aggressive environment applications.
• High Flexibility and Impact Resistance: Perfectly absorb ground movements, seismic activities (earthquakes), and water hammer. The risk of breakage or cracking is minimal. Their flexible structure easily adapts to land contours, allowing for installation with fewer fittings.
• Lightweight and Easy Installation: Significantly lighter than traditional pipe materials. This considerably reduces transportation, handling, and installation costs, and shortens labor time.
• Complete Leak-Tightness: Heat fusion joints make the entire pipeline monolithic. This eliminates the risk of leaks and maximizes system safety.
• Cost-Effectiveness: Low installation costs, long service life, and minimal maintenance requirements result in significant long-term savings.
• Hygienic and Environmentally Friendly: Safe for drinking water transport, does not affect water taste, odor, or color. Its recyclable nature makes it an environmentally conscious choice.
• Smooth Inner Surface: Due to a low friction coefficient, it enables energy-efficient fluid transport, reducing pressure drops and pumping costs. Minimizes sediment accumulation, reducing the risk of blockages.
