Polypipe launches new HDPE drainage solution

01 December 2020

Polypipe Middle East, a leading provider of sustainable climate and water management solutions in built environment for the region, is introducing a new high density polyethylene (HDPE) solution under leading drainage brand, Terrain Fuze, on the Middle East market.

The new specialty solution is said to offer economic and environmental benefits ranging from improved health and wellbeing for indoor spaces at reduced installation and maintenance costs.

Managing Director Adam Smith says: “The profound role of drainage in optimising the spaces we occupy cannot be overlooked. It is critical to life in a building. That’s why the Polypipe Middle East approach has always been to support the creation of zero-risk environments, where drainage guarantees health and safety.”

“A zero-risk approach is vital for spaces occupied by more vulnerable parts of the population, for example hospitals and schools, where compromising on drainage is just not an option,”  states Smith.  

Due to its HDPE material, the introduction of Terrain Fuze into the Middle Eastern market seeks to support the creation of healthy spaces which are built to last.

HDPE enables more diverse jointing methods, such as electrofusion welding, which enhances joint integrity, thus reducing the chance of failures, foul odours or toxic leaks, and ultimately, helping to maintain healthier indoor air quality, said Smith.

Terrain Fuze can be particularly useful for environments where a zero-risk approach is deemed necessary, such as hospitals or kitchens as its HDPE material is highly resistant to chemical corrosion. It is also resistant to high temperatures, making it a suitable choice for the regional climate, he notes.

From a cost perspective, HDPE is lightweight, making transportation and installation quicker and more efficient, delivering direct resource-saving benefits. As for sustainability, Terrain Fuze is engineered from fully recyclable materials so its ecological impact is lower than other traditional materials, Smith adds.
