A Division of the Rare Group

Rare Plastics is a division of the JSE Alt-X listed, BBBEE (Level 5) and ISO 9001:2008 accredited Rare Group.

Rare Plastics manufacture and distribute HDPE pipe & fittings from our factory in Meyerton, Gauteng.
Pipes are manufactured to SANS ISO 4427 standards and sizes range from 110mm to 1000mm. The PE100
raw material is sourced from reputable manufacturers who comply to SANS ISO 4427 Part 1.

Rare is a proud member of SAPPMA (Southern African Plastic Pipe Manufacturers Association) and IFPA
(Installation and Fabrication Plastics Pipe Association).

IFPA was formed to expand regulation of the Plastic pipe industry to include the fabrication and
installation of pipe. Being part of IFPA differentiates members as responsible players in the field,
concerned with quality and ethics.

Benefits
Plastic piping systems offer many benefits when compared to most
other materials; which typically include the following:
• High impact strength
• Resistance against chemicals, corrosion and abrasion
• Chemically inert and unaffected by acidic soil conditions
• Biologically inert against micro organisms
• Low mass allows easy handling and installation
• Available in long lengths, reducing the number of joints
• Flexibility and toughness
• Inherent resistance to the effect of ground water movement
• Excellent hydraulic properties with low friction resistance throughout life
• Non-toxic and safe for drinking water
• Low installation cost and maintenance free
• Environmentally friendly
• Can be fusion welded, ensuring absolutely leak free joints
• Very suitable for rehabilitation of old pipelines

HDPE installations and lining can be carried out in-house, making use of our Pipeline Services Division.

Applications
Some typical applications of HDPE pipe include the following:
• Mining (surface and underground)
• Water supply
• Agriculture / irrigation
• High temperature liquids and gases – usually not above 60°C
• Corrosive water and effluents
• Dewatering
• Drainage and sub-soil drainage
• Protection of electrical and telephone cables
• Hydraulic transport
• Pipeline rehabilitation

Jointing methods
HDPE allows for a range of jointing systems to suit various applications.
Permanent and detachable jointing methods are used, with several
options available under each method.

Permanent jointing
• Butt-welding
• Electro fusion
• Socket Fusion

Detachable jointing
• Stub and Flange
• Compression fittings
• Mechanical couplings
• Tak and Victaulic system
