Reliance received the PE 100 certification from M/s Bodycote, Sweden for the product PE pipe grade Relene 46GP003, manufactured at Gandhar. This certification has enabled Reliance’s entry into the select group of 11 manufacturers to have received the PE 100 certification amongst 440 PE manufacturers present globally.

This is a rare achievement with RIL being the only Indian and seventh Asian producer to get this most coveted certification for this very critical application. Reliance would leverage this certification coupled with our in-house capability to produce PE Pipes to create a differentiated platform for our PE pipe brands. PE 100 Polyethylene Pipe Grade is a novel addition to the family of Polyethylene Pipes manufactured by Reliance.

Pipes made out of PE 100 grades have outstanding pressure and abrasion resistance, superior stress crack resistance and provide a higher margin of safety. These pipes find extensive use in applications for gas and water distribution, effluent disposal etc. and can withstand 10 MPA of stress for 50 years, @ 20^o C, (with no brittle failure).

M/s Bodycote is an internationally reputed certification agency for polymer and metal pipe testing and lifetime evaluation. M/s Bodycote has got 105 accredited laboratories in 19 countries and have tested more than 70,000 pipes.
