Expansion of High-Performance PE Pipe Offerings by Sekisui Chemical

Sekisui Chemical Co., Ltd., under the leadership of President Keita Kato, is set to expand its product offerings of the seismic-resistant high-performance polyethylene pipes, known as "ESLON Hyper AW". This expansion will begin on May 7, 2025, and involves the addition of large-diameter tees.

Background of ESLON Hyper AW

Originally launched in Japan in 2005, ESLON Hyper AW was developed through collaborative research with the Urban Renaissance Agency and the Architectural Facility Polyethylene Pipe System Study Group. It marked Japan's first application of high-density polyethylene pipes for water supply within building infrastructures. The product is notable for enabling the construction of entirely plastic piping systems that enhance earthquake resistance, leading to its increased adoption in the market. Over the years, the offerings have gradually broadened to include applications in fire protection piping.

New Product Features

As part of the upcoming expansion, ESLON Hyper AW will now include large-diameter tees such as SP tees and EF branch tees, as well as an EF screw joint that allows for easy conversion directly from the main pipe. This means that customers can now significantly reduce fitting costs by connecting branch pipes in a more efficient and straightforward manner.

Moreover, this development not only improves arrangements in spaces like beneath floors and in pits but also simplifies construction by reducing the number of fusion points needed. This innovative expansion is a direct response to numerous customer requests and aims to streamline the piping process further.

Commitment to Sustainability

Sekisui Chemical is steadfast in its commitment to creating products that effectively address environmental and social challenges. The company's sustainability framework aims to accelerate the growth and market expansion of high-performance products such as ESLON Hyper AW, aligning with their overarching goal of achieving a sustainable society and thriving business operations. They emphasize the importance of generating products that contribute positively to environmental and societal issues not just during the manufacturing phase but also when in use by customers.

The company’s initiative to promote "Sustainability Contribution Products" across its group aims to realize a sustainable society by 2030. This reflects a broader commitment towards higher levels of ESG management, with the driving principle of innovative development intertwining with positive societal impact.
