Polyethylene – an ideal concrete protection material

Tested and certified for many uses, polyethylene (PE for short) has appeared as a material in numerous areas of daily life since 1957.

Its excellent technical, chemical and physiological characteristics make it especially suitable for construction in the areas of drinking water and wastewater, gas supply and waste disposal.

The useful life of polyethylene amounts to an unbelievable 100 years. This allows a long lifecycle to be applied to the depreciation of investments in accordance with DIN 8075.

What’s more, HDPE (HD stands for high density) can be quickly and easily assembled and has many impressive qualities that make it an ideal material for concrete protection:

+ 100% sealing capability
+ long-lasting resistance to numerous chemicals
+ easy handling and installation
+ gas- and watertight
+ high abrasion- and impact resistance
+ tightness can be tested at any time
+ avoidance of sedimentary deposition through anti-adhesive surface
+ sustainable cost-effectiveness
+ ability to override cracks
+ technical maturity
+ environmentally friendly
+ certified for lining by DIBt (German institute for building technology)
