PE60 PIPE
PE60 – Medium-Strength Polyethylene for Water & Irrigation Systems
Product overview
PE60 PIPE
Product overview
PE60 is a medium-strength polyethylene grade used in low- to medium-pressure piping systems including agricultural irrigation, residential water distribution, and light fluid transport. It offers good flexibility, reliable chemical resistance, and a moderate pressure rating. PE60 is widely used due to its balance of toughness, durability, and cost-effectiveness, making it suitable for projects where PE80 or PE100 performance is not required.
Introduction to PE60
1
PE60 is a versatile polyethylene grade designed for low- and medium-pressure pipe applications such as irrigation, water supply, and drainage.
2
It provides good stress crack resistance, flexibility, and chemical stability, making it suitable for outdoor and agricultural usage.
3
PE60 is especially valued for cost-sensitive projects where a reliable but economical pipe material is needed.
Applications
Residential Water Pipes
Suitable for household cold-water supply and low-pressure distribution networks.
Drainage & Sewer Pipes

Production Processes
Extrusion Process
PE60 pellets are melted and extruded into pipe form through precision dies and calibrated using cooling tanks.
Coiling & Cutting
Smaller diameters are coiled while larger ones are cut into straight lengths, followed by dimensional and strength quality checks.
