Is the PE material anti-corrosion?

September 04, 2023

Polyethylene (PE) material has certain corrosion resistance, but its corrosion resistance depends on many factors, including PE type, density, thickness, environmental conditions and chemical substances. Generally speaking, PE material has good corrosion resistance in many neutral environments (such as drinking water delivery), but it may not be corrosion resistant enough for some specific chemicals and extreme environmental conditions.

 

If you plan to use PE material to transport liquids or chemicals, and you are concerned about corrosion, it is recommended that you consider the following points:

 

1. Know the properties of the liquid: Make sure you know the properties of the liquid or chemical you are transferring, including pH, temperature, chemical composition, etc. This will help determine if PE is suitable for your purposes.

 

2. Select the appropriate PE type: PE is divided into different types, such as LDPE (low density polyethylene), HDPE (high density polyethylene), etc. Different types of PE have different corrosion resistance properties, so it is important to choose the type of PE that suits your needs.

 

3. Consider the external environment: PE pipes may behave differently under different external environmental conditions. For example, PE has relatively poor resistance to UV light, so external exposure needs to be considered.

 

4. Consider liquid delivery conditions: Delivery under high temperature, high pressure or specific flow rate conditions may cause additional stress on PE pipes, which may require additional measures or selection of pipes made of other materials.

 

In conclusion, PE has some corrosion resistance, but in specific cases it may be necessary to take extra precautions or choose other pipe materials to ensure safety and performance. Therefore, when selecting piping materials, it should be evaluated according to specific needs and follow the relevant codes and recommendations.
