Drinking Water

Water scarcity is a pressing global issue, with over 20% of the world’s population lacking an adequate supply of clean drinking water. Managing and conserving fresh water is a major infrastructure challenge around the world. Distribution systems urgently need to be expanded to meet the needs of a growing population and rising living standards, and alongside this existing systems need to be upgraded to prevent them leaking water at an unsustainably high rate.

Polyethylene (PE) pipes have a valuable role to play in meeting these objectives. Unlike traditional materials such as copper or concrete, PE does not corrode, and it is also longer lasting, easier to install, and has a lower failure rate. We offer a broad range of PE grades for water pipe networks, covering applications from distribution mains to household connections. Based on our proprietary BorSafe™ technology, these cost-effective solutions meet or surpass stringent international standards for drinking water and offer outstanding durability, lasting for many years with minimal maintenance.
