About Porous Pipe

This low thickness product is recommended only where budget is low and one still wants to go for reticulation. The low thickness causes problems like bending of pipe, blocking of termiticide during pumping and inconsistent flow along the length.

Uniform Water Distribution for Sustainable Irrigation

The microporous structure ensures consistent water seepage along the entire length of the hose, maximizing irrigation efficiency. This uniform distribution helps conserve water, supporting healthier plant growth by maintaining optimal soil moisture levels. Ideal for both small gardens and large-scale agricultural setups, its eco-friendly design promotes sustainability in every application.

Exceptional Durability and Flexibility

Built to endure harsh outdoor environments, the porous pipe boasts outstanding UV stability and temperature resistance from -20C to 60C. Its flexible construction allows easy laying, repositioning, and adaptation to complex garden layouts, making installation a hassle-free process for professionals and hobbyists alike. With a tensile strength of 10 MPa, the hose remains resilient season after season.
