What Does Composite Pipe Mean?

Composite pipes are made from unreinforced thermoplastics like high density polyethylene (HDPE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polypropylene (PP), fiber reinforced plastics (FRP), and glass reinforced plastics (GRP). Composite pipes are resistant to corrosion and have stronger mechanical properties. For equivalent size and thickness, composite pipes are stronger and sturdier than unreinforced pipe materials. They are better able to resist forces applied during the process of installation, allowing them to be installed deeper and drawn with greater force. These pipes are widely favored in trenchless technology because they are easier to install.
