Municipal and Industrial Water Pipe

HDPE High Density Polyethylene close up pipe for water supply at construction site

Water is our most precious resource

The pipes that deliver it are just as important — that’s why we work so hard to develop pipe resins that perform. And as infrastructure evolves, so does our bimodal polyethylene (PE) technology.

CONTINUUM™ Bimodal Polyethylene Resins offer a sustainable pipe solution that stands strong against corrosion, cracking and leakage. They do everything you want pipes to do — deliver water efficiently, help protect our precious natural resources and last for generations. But that’s not all. 

Ready for anything

From installation to operation, interior surfaces to exterior walls — water distribution pipelines must endure extreme conditions, stresses and abuses. CONTINUUM™ Resins are up to the challenge, meeting or exceeding both ASTM PE4710 and ISO PE100 standards with: 

Strong fusion capabilities for seamless, extremely leak-resistant pipelines without mechanical fittings or gaskets. 

Exceptional scratch and slow crack growth (SCG) resistance that can enhance pipeline life and integrity while lowering installation costs.  

Remarkable rapid crack propagation (RCP) resistance for added durability in extreme cold. 

High elevated temperature and pressure ratings across a broad range of conditions. 

Low thermal conductivity for more uniform system temperatures and consistent operations with less need for insulation. 

Excellent seismic resistance that helps protect water supplies while mitigating unforeseen costs of an earthquake. 

Good resistance to ultraviolet (UV) light degradation, per AWWA C901-20.  

Significantly reduced notch sensitivity compared to unimodal PE.  

Outstanding chlorine resistance

In addition to meeting the PE4710 standard, pipes manufactured with the following Dow resins exceed Chlorine category 3 (CC3) ratings, the highest chlorine resistance rating available:

The bottom line

Their truly exceptional durability and performance make CONTINUUM™ Bimodal Polyethylene Resins an obvious choice for reducing the total life cycle costs of municipal and industrial water pipe.

Typical values, not to be construed as specifications. Users should confirm results by their own tests. 

Sustainability solutions for water pipes

CONTINUUM™ Resins are a sustainable choice for water distribution pipe, helping ensure safe and efficient delivery of our most needed and precious resource for years to come. These extremely durable, bimodal HDPE materials: 

Offer the longest life cycle of any potable water pipe material, with less need for maintenance and replacement. 

Enable downgauging – reducing material use while maintaining performance requirements. 

Can help reduce energy consumption during manufacturing and shipping, helping increase efficiency while lowering your costs and carbon footprint. 

Help conserve water with seamless, highly leak-resistant pipelines – whether you’re replacing outdated infrastructure or installing completely new systems. 

Enable trenchless horizontal directional drilling (HDD) and pipe bursting installation – which are typically less disruptive and more cost efficient. Of course, conventional trench installation can also be used. 

Combine light weight and flexibility for easier, faster installation than metal and concrete on any terrain. 

Available in blue formulations to help ensure easy identification by installation and maintenance crews. 

Support community health and safety by enabling systems that preserve water quality and prevent water loss.
