Frequently Asked Questions
Polyethylene is lightweight, flexible, and durable, making it a good choice for irrigation tubing that must withstand environmental stress and repeated handling. Its chemical resistance supports compatibility with fertilizers and water treatments, while its processability allows consistent tubing quality and long-lasting performance.
UV resistance prevents damage from sunlight exposure, reducing cracking and brittleness. This helps drip irrigation pipes maintain structural integrity and reliable water flow over years of outdoor use.
Environmental Stress Cracking Resistance (ESCR) also known as stress crack resistance (SCR) measures a material’s ability to resist cracking under stress from chemicals or pressure. High ESCR helps ensure tubing and fittings withstand fertilizers and mechanical loads without failure, reducing maintenance and extending service life.
Yes. Dow’s polyethylene resins are designed for both surface and subsurface drip irrigation. They offer uniform wall thickness, flexibility, and strength, helping ensure consistent water delivery and durability across system types.
Dow materials support precision irrigation that delivers water directly to plant roots with minimal waste. This reduces evaporation and runoff, supports soil health, and helps farmers achieve higher yields while conserving water for sustainable agriculture.
