The benefits of MDPE

Being food grade plastic, freshwater remains fresh and you won’t experience that plastic taint found with flexible bag and glass fibre tanks.

Black waste is extremely corrosive. The acids in black waste corrode the welds on mild steel, stainless steel and alloy tanks. The surface of a metal tank can look absolutely fine but the welds and fittings will be attacked and this is where failure normally occurs. MDPE is totally unaffected by the acids in black waste.

At Tek Tanks we manufacture from 10 and 12mm thick plastic which gives all our tanks incredible strength but also combats any odour problems often associated with cheaper thinner walled tanks.

MDPE is also an extremely suitable material for diesel tanks being totally resistant to diesel and its thermal properties help prevent condensation forming inside the tank. Although not eliminating it completely, MDPE will greatly reduce the amount of water condensing out in the airspace left. It is always advisable where possible to leave MDPE (and any other) diesel tanks nearly full when left for any length of time.

Natural MDPE is also semi transparent allowing you to see the level of the contents without having to fit a sender and gauge.

Benefits of using MDPE water pipe

MDPE (Medium Density Polyethylene) pipe is a light, flexible and durable piping system, which is easy to install and ideal for delivering high pressure mains water from the main run into properties. It can be used to replace existing lead water mains pipe but what are the benefits?

Why choose MDPE pipe?

Many property owners choose to upgrade from older pipes to new MDPE pipes. Here’s just some of the reasons why:

  • They are much more reliable and durable, giving you peace of mind that they’re less susceptible to burst pipes

  • They come in various sizes meaning you can increase the flow rate to your property which is necessary if you want to put in any high spec equipment such as power showers with a megaflow system

  • Unlike old pipes these pipes are corrosion free

  • They are easy to install as they are flexible so can be bent without breaking them and you don’t need to be equipped with sophisticated tools to install them - the ease helps reduce the cost of labor

  • They can cope with high pressure water and withstand any type of shock - so they last decades without requiring a replacement

  • MDPE can be used outdoors or indoors and can withstand any change in temperature, even during winter, so the water will not freeze in the pipes

  • Although MDPE may be more expensive than ordinary pipes, they are more cost effective in the long run as you will not have to budget for repairs

So when it comes to replacing your existing water pipe, look no further than Cotterill Civils – an MDPE pipe provides resistance to chemicals and bacteria, allowing the transportation of water to be safe and secure.
