When it comes to heating and plumbing, reliable performance, durability and trustworthy connections make the difference between a house and a home. We have a resin portfolio that puts pipe manufacturers ahead of the curve – and the competition. According to the Alliance for Polyethylene (PE) Pipe, PE resins offer the lowest total life cycle cost of all municipal pipe materials – and domestic plumbing and heating designers are building on that success.

Plastic pipes made from PE are durable, leak-resistant and offer sustainability benefits over alternatives materials. That is why more pipe producers are choosing plastic pipes, and Dow’s extensive portfolio, to help them meet standards for small-diameter heating and plumbing applications that range from radiator and under-floor heating to plumbing and sanitary systems.

Dow’s portfolio of resins for raised-temperature (RT) plastic pipe connects you with processability and in-use performance – temperature cycle through temperature cycle, year after year. Building upon plastic piping resins that have stood the test of time, Dow continues to innovate to help pipe producers increase processing efficiency, decrease scrap rates, and reduce production costs while offering performance enhancements like: 

Dow has decades of experience in the pipe industry and works with leading pipe extruders and specifiers to develop superior pipe products. We operate pipe technology R&D centers around the world and are constantly working to improve resins and develop new materials that help piping systems of all kinds operate at maximum performance.

From mono-layer structures to multi-layer, highly demanding pipe applications, we have base, adhesive and tie-layer/impact modifier resins that can optimize reliable performance and cost-to-produce. Contact us to help with your design, specification or performance challenges.
