Polidasht polyethylene pipes deliver strong and reliable performance in demanding industrial and mining operations across Iran and the region. These products support transfer of a wide range of fluids and chemical media.

In mining, contractors and operators often use polyethylene pipes as an efficient alternative to steel. In addition to lower cost, PE systems provide corrosion resistance, low weight, and greater flexibility, while enabling faster and easier installation in harsh operating environments.

These products are a primary choice in this sector due to superior mechanical properties, high safety level, reliability, resistance to corrosion and abrasion, low cost, and easy installation.

  • High resistance to impact, abrasion, and decay.
  • Strong resistance to galvanic corrosion.
  • Ideal flexibility and contraction behavior.
  • High resistance to earthquakes and landslides.
  • Very low weight.
  • Very high resistance to sunlight and UV exposure.
  • Excellent hydraulic performance.
  • Flexible, leak-free connections.
  • Low repair and maintenance costs.

1- Material and liquid transfer
Due to high resistance to corrosion and abrasion, polyethylene pipes are highly suitable for water transfer in mining operations. This includes both process water and water used for dust suppression.
In mines where chemicals are required, polyethylene pipes are an ideal solution for transfer because of their high chemical resistance.

2- Ventilation and safety systems
With low weight and high flexibility, polyethylene pipes are very suitable for ventilation systems in mining. These systems are critical for fresh-air supply and harmful-gas removal.

3- Cable and utility line protection
Polyethylene pipes can be used as protective ducts for power cables and other lines used in mines. This supports safety and reduces the risk of damage.

4- Irrigation and erosion-control systems
In mining sites where erosion control and irrigation management are needed, polyethylene pipes are a suitable option due to their durability in different environmental conditions.

5- Effluent and drainage management
Polyethylene pipes are also used in mining wastewater and seepage management. Their chemical and corrosion resistance makes them ideal for safe transport and disposal.

6- Special-use cases
In specific cases such as underground mines or challenging geographic conditions, polyethylene pipes provide unique advantages thanks to flexibility and pressure resistance.

In extractive industries such as mining and drilling, polyethylene pipes are a suitable option due to high resistance to corrosion and abrasion. Relevant tests include:

  • Internal and external pressure resistance test:
    Pipes must withstand severe pressures caused by mining activities. These tests evaluate long-term stability under internal and external pressure.
  • Abrasion resistance test:
    Polyethylene pipes used in mines must resist wear caused by transport of mineral materials. These tests evaluate durability and service life in harsh mining conditions.
  • Resistance to harsh environmental conditions:
    Pipes must perform under humidity, high and low temperatures, and corrosive soils. These tests confirm operational reliability in such environments.
