HDPE Pipe in Chemical Industry, Pharmaceutical Industry & Food Processing Industry

In the fluid conveying system in the industrial field, the choice of pipe material is directly impact on production safety, efficiency and cost. In recent years, HDPE pipe (high density polyethylene pipe) with its excellent corrosion resistance, lightweight and long life characteristics, has gradually become the preferred solution for chemical, pharmaceutical, food processing and other industries.

HDPE Pipe in Chemical Industry:The Best Solution of Strong Corrosive Medium Transportation?

The chemical production environment is dominated by corrosive media such as strong acid, strong alkali and organic solvent, and traditional metal pipelines are prone to leakage risk due to corrosion. The HDPE pipe has become the “security guard” of chemical plants through the following advantages:

1. Excellent chemical inertia: can withstand pH 1-14 acid-base media, stable performance of common chemicals such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide.

2. Zero leakage welding technology: the use of hot melt butt process, no gap at the pipe connection, to eliminate the potential leakage of the medium.

3. Case application: After a chemical plant replaces the metal pipeline transporting chlor-alkali with DN300 HDPE pipeline, the annual maintenance cost is reduced by 70% and the service life is extended to more than 20 years.

If you are looking for corrosion-resistant pipes for the chemical industry.HDPE pipes, with their acid-alkali resistance and hot-melt connection technology, can significantly enhance the safety level of fluid delivery systems.

HDPE Pipe in Pharmaceutical Industry: Meet Double Standard of Cleanliness and Compliance

The pharmaceutical industry has strict requirements for the cleanliness, sterility and material certification of the pipe system. HDPE piping is the compliance of choice for pharmaceutical companies by:

1. The inner wall is smooth without dead corners: the surface roughness is only 0.01mm, avoid microbial breeding, and meet the GMP clean standards.

2. Food grade raw materials: PE100 raw materials in line with FDA 21 CFR and EU 10/2011 standards are used to ensure that there is no risk of plasticizer migration.

3. Verification support: Provide material compatibility test report, suitable for the transportation of purified water, water for injection and other key media.

Main Point Solution: a biopharmaceutical company used HDPE pipeline to transport culture solution in the vaccine production line, which avoided the problem of metal ion precipitation, and the product purity was increased by 0.3 percentage points.

HDPE Pipe in Food Processing Industry:Can Pass EU Food Contact Material Test

In food processing industrial such as dairy products, beverages and condiments, The raw material of HDPE pipe must match both safety and durability:

1. Dual certification guarantee: Through the FDA (US) and LFGB (Germany) food contact material test, can contact -40℃ to 60℃ oil, alcohol and other media.

2. Anti-stress cracking design: PE100+ grade raw materials are used to maintain structural integrity under frequent cold and hot cycle conditions.

3. Improve cleaning efficiency: CIP online cleaning system has excellent compatibility with HDPE pipeline, saving 30% cleaning time.

Data support: Third-party tests show that the bacteria attachment rate of HDPE pipes is only 1/5 of that of stainless steel pipes when transporting sugar-containing solutions.

Full Analysis of HDPE Pipe Advantage

In addition to industry-specific performance, HDPE pipes have universal advantages in industrial applications:

50-year life design: UV-resistant modified formulation, non-embrittlement for outdoor use

Energy saving and consumption reduction: the inner wall friction coefficient is only 1/3 of the steel pipe, reducing the energy consumption of pumping

Environmentally friendly and recyclable: The production energy consumption is 65% lower than that of metal pipes, supporting recycling

How to Identify the HDPE Pipeline Suitable for Industrial Scenes?

1. Pressure level: distinguish PN6-PN16 different pressure series, matching pumping system requirements

2. Temperature range: standard type (-20℃~40℃) and high temperature modified type (up to 90℃)

3. Certification qualification: Check the list of chemical resistance in the third-party test report
