Current generation materials for polyethylene potable water supply pipes are expected to have “excellent” longevity and performance, according a new report from Jana Laboratories commissioned by the Plastics Pipe Institute.
Jana Laboratories Vice President Ken Oliphant has said that projections of polyethylene pipe performance showed they have longevity across the majority of end-use applications, and “good performance even in very aggressive end-use environments”.
Plastics Pipe Institute Executive Director Tony Radoszewski said “Current models project that high performance polyethylene piping materials can, conservatively, provide more than 100 years of resistance to chlorine and chloramine-treated potable water through the vast majority of potable water systems when properly designed.”
