Polyethylene has become the material of choice in many of the developed areas of the world, based on its inherent advantages over other materials:

Low Maintenance
- Easily weldable into long sections

Low Cost of Installation
- Flexible, light weight and tough pipes that can be installed using no-dig methods

Long Lifetime
- Certified for 50 years operation, even in harsh climates and terrain

High Safety Record and Easy Installation
- Leak free joints, chemical inertness and  corrosion free resulting in the lowest failure rate for pipeline systems

Easily Processed and Recycled
- Easily converted into various pipe and fitting dimensions and recyclable into less critical applications at end of service life

Pipes produced out of bimodal Borstar Enhanced Polyethylene - Borsafe have the additional benefits of:

• Tailored molecular weight, bi-modal molecular weight distribution and comonomer distribution
  
• Optimum balance of processability and mechanical properties
  
• Reduced costs through efficient processing especially for large diameter thick wall pipes
  
• Short start-up times and quick transitions between grades
  
• Material savings of up to 30 percent on large diameter projects
  
• Improved processability and increased output
  
• Improved flexibility for easier coiling, storage and installation
  
• Improved resistance to slow crack growth
  
• Added security for long term life
  
• Higher resistance to rapid crack propagation
  
• Larger diameters and higher operating pressures in gas systems
