EUROPAS SAFE10™ – PE100 RC Solid Wall Pipes for Gas Networks (Type 2)

EUROPAS SAFE10™ is an advanced PE100 RC (Resistant to Crack) solid wall pipe system developed for underground gas distribution networks where maximum reliability and resistance to installation damage are required. Manufactured from PE100 RC (MRS 10 MPa), the pipe offers outstanding resistance to Slow Crack Growth (SCG), making it ideal for demanding installation environments and trenchless construction methods.

The Type 2 dual-layer construction features a black inner layer (90% of the wall thickness) and an orange outer layer (10%), providing easy visual identification while offering an additional inspection advantage—damage penetrating beyond the orange outer layer becomes immediately visible during installation.

Available in outside diameters from 20 mm to 450 mm, the pipes are supplied in both coils and straight lengths for a wide range of gas distribution applications.
