PolyPipe is manufactured with high performance resins engineered with outstanding resistance to Slow Crack Growth (SCG) and
Rapid Crack Propagation (RCP). The fatigue resistance of these resins improves design life in water systems where cyclic
pressure surges exist.
Dura-Line is ISO 9001 certified and PolyPipe is qualified using exacting laboratory procedures and test methods, and a consistent
uncompromised quest for design and manufacturing excellence.
