Founded on February 24, 1999, the PE100+ Association is an industry organisation of several polyethylene (PE) manufacturers whose objective is to guarantee consistent quality at the highest level in the production and use of PE100 pipe material. By monitoring the most critical properties of enhanced requirements, we are able to issue a "PE100+ Association Positive List of Materials" on a regular basis. We also aim to create a marketing platform to promote the use of PE piping in general. This is why three leading PE manufacturers - Borealis A/S, Elenac GmbH (now LyondellBasell) and Solvay Polyolefins Europe SA (now Ineos O&P) - took the basis initiative to launch the PE100+ Association. Since its creation the association has developed from its European origins to a truly international organization with global members and activities.
