Bimodal HDPE Process
Bimodal HDPE is mix of:
1. LOW Molecular fraction which gives:
• Good Processability• High stiffness• High crystallinty
2. HIGH Molecular fraction which gives
• High resistance to Slow Crack Growth
• High creep behavior

Pipe Network Current situation in GCC:
• High leakage rates and maintenance cost for traditional pipes can be virtually eliminated with high quality plastics pipe systems. In GCC, leak rate vary from 15% to 50% of water pipe network resulting of billions $ loss.
• Building infrastructutre creates a tremendous market potential for plastics pipes but:
� Lack of local safe guards and knowledge makes it difficult to distinguish � Lack of local safe guards and knowledge makes it difficult to distinguish between poor and high quality plastics pipe systems
� Poor quality pipe systems have created problems for end users and is a threat to the reputation of plastics pipes in the future
� The lack of standards and certification schemes makes introduction of better pipes difficult

GCC Piping System- Overview
• Water Applications
• Shortage of water specially in GCC
• High Leakage level in current piping systems
• Big projects to revamp the old piping systems.
• New Industrial cities
• Traditional Piping system is not the optimum solution
• Gas Applications• Gas Applications
• GCC has big gas recoveries
• Gas piping system is growing
• need to resolve current problems (lifetime, cost, corrosion)
• Sewage Application
� Sewage system is new
PE100 Opportunities in ME- Summary
• Big infrastructure Projects in ME
• PE100 has good records in Europe & America
• High potential to replace the tradition pipe network (cost & product features)
• Availability of Raw Materials from ME
• Innovations in Product improvement, welding & installation.
