The PE100+ Association - Creating Trust in High Quality PE Pipes

Founded on Feb. 24, 1999, the PE 100+ Association is an industry organisation of several polyethylene (PE) manufacturers whose objective is to promote consistent quality at the highest level in the production and the use of polyethylene for PE100 pipes.

By monitoring the most critical properties of enhanced requirements, we are able to issue a
"PE 100+ Quality Materials list " on a regular basis.

The PE100+ Association has, through showing the advantages of PE pipe systems, refrained from positioning PE pipe systems versus other plastic pipes systems.

Anna Wroblewska - Wavin - European Sales Manager Renovation

“For Wavin company – the leading producer of plastic pipes - the highest quality of products offered to the customers is a matter of the highest importance. The necessary condition for manufacturing the high-quality pipes is the high-quality raw material. For many years Wavin has produced PE100 pipes by using raw materials placed on the PE100+ Associations list of “PE100+ Quality Materials”. The quality of raw material is continuously controlled by independent research institutes and by Wavin quality control systems. Thanks that buying our products customers receive certainty that Wavin pipes’ quality is higher than required standards. The results from our laboratory tests and opinion of the end-users (waterworks and gasworks) confirm firmly the fact.”

Mike Shepherd - Thames Water plc

“High performance polyethylene is now, almost exclusively, the material of choice in the UK(90mm to 315mm) pipe systems and is increasingly being used for larger diameter trunk mains. As an end user, it is of utmost importance that these installations provide long and maintenance free service lives. The work of the PE100+ Association, by setting the standards for high quality materials and constantly working to improve best practice in manufacture, design and installation of PE pipe systems, provides confidence that these end user requirements will be met." water industry for distribution size

Robin Bresser - Vice President Asia of the PE100+ Association
"The PE 100+ Association is an industry association that welcomes all PE100 pipe material producers, who fulfill the strict quality requirements of the association. The Association promotes, in close co-operation with other organizations, the usage of all plastic pipes for example by educating and training decision makers, designers and installers. The PE100+ Association also responds to and takes leading role in common technical industry issues. The industry appreciates the broad technical and promotion work of the PE100+ Association which aims to create trust in high quality PE pipes—globally."

Dr. Elmar Loeckenhoff - Kunststoffrohrverband - KRV

"Kunststoffrohrverband e.V. (KRV), an association of the plastics pipe industry, is a speaking partner for all applications of the German plastic pipes industries. The target of the KRV and its members is to offer high quality and reliable products.

Polyethylene has been established as an important plastic pipe material already since 50 years and has steadily improved in its performance. Nowadays high quality pipes made of PE100 are used in many different application areas.

Thanks to the active education work of the PE100+ Association many pipe users and decision makers are today well informed on the benefits of PE100 material. The highest quality PE100 materials end up into both KRV and PE100+ Association Quality Materials lists. These materials exceed the requirements of the standard regulations."

"Als Fachverband der Kunststoffrohr-Industrie ist der Kunststoffrohrverband e.V. (KRV) Ansprechpartner für alle Bereiche der Kunststoffrohranwendung. Seine Zielsetzung und die seiner Mitglieder besteht darin, Produkte von höchster Qualität anzubieten, die das in sie gesetzte Vertrauen verdienen.

In der Kunststoffrohrindustrie ist Polyethylen seit 50 Jahren ein wichtiger Werkstoff, der im Laufe der Jahre immer weiter verbessert wurde. In vielen Anwendungsbereichen werden heute hochwertige Qualitätsrohre aus PE 100 eingesetzt.

Dank umfangreicher Informationsarbeit der PE 100 + Association sind Anwender und Entscheider heute gut über den Werkstoff PE 100 informiert. Wertvolle Anhaltspunkte über die hohe Qualität der Werkstoffe geben neben den eingeführten KRV-Werkstofflisten auch die Qualitätslisten von PE 100 +. Die hier an die Werkstoffe gestellten Anforderungen gehen über die der Normen hinaus."
