Shandong Buoy & Pipe Industry Co., Ltd. is a technology leader specializing in research and manufacturing of UHMWPE (ultra high molecular weight polythene) products. Located in Liaocheng Shandong Buoy & Pipe has equipment to the value of RMB 200 million. Annual UHMWPE pipe production capacity of 30 thousand metric tons; and annual production value of RMB 1 billion yuan. The company is the only one to manufacture UHMWPE pipe with inner diameter lager than 800mm and to apply UHMWPE material in production of marine equipment like navigation buoys, beacons, and associated products for marine construction.
As an innovative product, UHMWPE pipes have been listed on the Chinese National Science and Technology Achievements Promotion Plan. The leader of UHMWPE pipe products, Shandong Buoy and Pipe offers the greatest material advantages: high chemical stability, low friction coefficient, long working life. In solving wear based issues, UHMWPE pipe prevents instances of downtime through serious leakage, high construction cost, or the long construction periods. It is widely used in water infrastructure projects for government and private companies. It is preferred in dredging and reclamation, transmission of all kinds of acid, alkali, crude oil, slag, mud, coal reject, coal ash, amongst a myriad of other potential processes. On balance UHMWPE pipelines are the best alternative for long-distance water supply and slurry transportation projects. The products have been used by over 100 clients from China, Japan, Malaysia, Canada, South Africa, Australia, India, Russia, etc.
The company's ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene plastic and steel composite pipe offers solutions encompassing all of the UHMWPE material benefits together with the pressure ratings of Steel. This custom built alternate offers the best solution for pressure ranges below 60 bar.
The production of UHMWPE offers environmental benefits for the greater community. UHMWPE pipe production will produce only 15% of the carbon emissions dictated through Steel pipe. Furthermore, there is no added waste water, exhaust fumes, or by-product waste. In addition, the physical energy input is reduced by at least 20% which ensures the ongoing improvements of the environment for our community.

For future development, Shandong Buoy & Pipe Industry Co. Ltd and their partners are determined to shape an improvement for processes across the world. The company has ISO 9001 certification since 2009, the Chinese Drinking Water Licence from 2010, and is authorized by the Ministry of Public Health in the Shandong Province. Technically, in addition to having established a fit to use research and development department within their manufacturing headquarters in Liaocheng, the company cooperates with Shanghai Chemical Research Institute to further improve the base product being received. Shandong Buoy and Pipe are a rare company, innovating in pipe and marine equipment. We are already associated with the China Plastic Processing Industry Association (CPPIA), China Dredging Association (CHIDA), China Institute of Navigation (CIN) and International Association of Lighthouse Authorities (IALA).
