Polyethylene pipes are characterized by complete absence of corrosion. Unlike steel, chemical and physical properties of polyethylene pipes ensure tightness and resistance to weight loss under the influence corrosive substances (acids, alkalis, etc.) in the soil and transported to the environment during the entire period of operation. Polyethylene pipes are resistant to degradation from atmospheric conditions. Polyethylene pipes are plastic, bending radius of tubes – at least 10 outer diameters. Therefore, when installation of piping requires fewer fittings, it simplifies the design and construction of the pipeline. Polyethylene pipes in 3,5-4 times lighter equivalent steel, well and securely welded at the factory and field conditions. For welding of polyethylene pipes do not need heavy equipment, lower power consumption (or fuel), as compared with welding steel tubes. The use of long tubes in coils reduce the number of welds is 15-20 times.

All this greatly speeds up the construction of plastic pipe and reduces the cost of installation. Polyethylene pipes are throughput by 25-30% higher than that of steel due to smooth inner surface and the lack of domestic deposits. Inner diameter steel pipe decreases with time due to corrosion fouling. Same diameter polyethylene pipe increases during operation without loss of efficiency due to the phenomenon typical of polyethylene creep. This increase is about 1.5% over the first 10 years and about 3% for the entire period of the pipeline. Consequently, the inner surface of polyethylene pipe with time becomes more soft and smooth, which improves the flow wall polyethylene pipe and reduces the resistance to movement. K advantages of plastic pipes also include reliability, durability and low maintenance.

The service life of steel underground piping is no more than 25 years. Whereas the life of polyethylene pipelines – at least 50 years. For polyethylene pipe is not needed electrochemical protection, which creates additional savings in the construction and operation of the pipeline. These tubes can be operated at temperatures from -50 C to + 60 C. Polyethylene pipes are used by many companies, including giants of the industry – oao Zapsibgazprom '. For them, this key area, along with the direction: gasification facilities. This technology became the pride and the salvation of the key players in this market. Essential for human benefit is that the manufacture of pipes, welding, and operation of pipelines from polyethylene pipes are not allocated toxic substances harmful to humans and the environment. Polyethylene pipes are actually the technology that was difficult to think of a few decades ago! This is a huge leap into the future!
