PE100 DCR+RC Pipes – Chlorine Resistant PE100 RC Pipes for Drinking Water Networks

PE100 DCR+RC Pipes are advanced high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pressure pipes specifically developed for drinking water networks exposed to chlorine dioxide (ClO₂) and other chlorine-based disinfectants. Manufactured entirely from premium PE100 resin (MRS ≥ 10 MPa), these pipes combine enhanced chlorine resistance with improved durability characteristics to provide long-term reliability in modern water distribution systems.

The pipe technology integrates DCR (Dioxide Chlorine Resistant) performance with RC (Resistant to Crack) properties, offering superior resistance against both chemical ageing caused by disinfectants and mechanical damage caused by installation stresses or external loads.

Fully compliant with EN 12201, each pipe is permanently marked with the raw material identification code and all information required by applicable standards, ensuring full product traceability.
