SIFFO HDPE Co-Extruded pipes are manufactured with a highly reflective white outer layer. The coating is extruded (Co-Extruded) at the same time as the main pipe, forming an integral part of the pipe. This means that more than 95% of the pipes are made from standard black PE material with a thin white coating on the outside to reflect sunlight and reduce heat gain.
SIFFO has invested in new state-of-the-art extrusion machinery that can produce Co-Extruded PE pipes very efficiently. This means that Co-Extruded HDPE pipe does not cost much more than standard black HDPE pipe. SIFFO's new machine can also manufacture white Co-Extruded pipes with stripes of any color to help identify the pipe's contents.

SIFFO HDPE Co-Extruded pipes are the ultimate solution for above-ground applications including temporary water supply, offering the following advantages over black polyethylene pipes:
1. All-white coating minimizes solar heating of pipes and contents; tests show a reduction of over 50%.
2.Ultraviolet (UV) resistant.
3. Lower pressure ratings can be used because the lower operating temperature reduces the need to allow for pressure derating, allowing thinner wall tubing to be used. This provides cost savings in materials and by increasing the flow rate.
4. Reduced thermal expansion/contraction means less need for "serpentine" piping.
5.Flexibility allows the pipeline to adapt to terrain features.
6. Excellent solution for above ground applications including temporary water supply.
7. Double-walled, Co-Extruded, or Co-Extruded or "double-skinned" tubing means that white material is extruded at the same time as black material, bonding the two together.
8. Manufactured to ISO 4427 Standard "Polyethylene - PE - Pipes for pressure applications".
9. SIFFO HDPE Co-Extruded pipes can be joined with electrofusion fittings, butt welding equipment or compression fittings.
Application
Pipe systems exposed to the ground
Mining industry: used for conveying slurry, drainage or water sources in open-pit mining, the white coating can reduce the surface temperature of the pipe and reduce thermal expansion and contraction.
Agricultural irrigation: used for ground sprinkler systems, the white outer layer can reflect sunlight, reduce the aging of the pipe due to high temperature, and extend the service life.
Temporary water source delivery: when moving water sources on site, the white coating can protect the pipe from ultraviolet radiation to ensure water quality safety.
Urban infrastructure
Above-ground drainage pipes: in hot climates, the white coating can reduce the heat absorption of the pipe and avoid deformation or rupture of the pipe due to high temperature.
Communication cable protective sleeves: the white outer layer can reduce the temperature of the cable pipe and reduce the aging or failure of the cable due to high temperature.
Industrial applications
Chemical and petroleum industries: used for conveying liquid or gaseous media, the white coating can reduce the thermal stress of the pipe in high temperature environments and improve safety.
Open-air wastewater treatment systems: the white outer layer can prevent the pipe from degradation due to ultraviolet radiation and extend the service life.
