Shandong Kangyu Pipe Industry Gains Mass Purchase Intentions at Chile Exhibition

1. June 11th News | From June 8 to 11, Shandong Kangyu Pipe Industry visited Antofagasta, Chile, to participate in the Exponor Chile 2026 exhibition, where it comprehensively showcased its five core pipeline product lines tailored to meet the demands of Chile's mining operations, tailings treatment, seawater desalination, salt chemical industry, and building water supply and drainage needs. The booth attracted a steady stream of visitors, including numerous local mining project contractors, construction firms, import traders, and pipe manufacturing plants, yielding tangible cooperation outcomes from this South American on-site outreach effort.

2. All exhibited pipes came with verified performance data to help overseas buyers make quick decisions.

3. High-pressure HDPE Pipes for Mining:Meeting anti-static and flame-retardant standards for underground mining applications, these pipes weigh only 1/8 of steel pipes. On-site installation time is cut by 60%, with zero rust issues long-term. Multiple copper and lithium mine contractors requested customized solutions right at the booth.

4. Abrasion-resistant HDPE Slurry Pipes for Tailings Transport:4x more wear-resistant than steel pipes, with a service life over 10 years for tailings slurry delivery. Pumping energy consumption is reduced by 22% and maintenance costs drop by 65%, solving the frequent pipe replacement and production downtime troubles for large local tailings ponds. Several tailings operators confirmed sample delivery arrangements immediately.

5. Silicone Anti-Crystallization Coated HDPE Salt Water Transport Pipes:Equipped with professional internal silicone anti-crystallization coating, the pipe inner wall features ultra-low surface energy that effectively stops salt scale and crystal adhesion. For long-term transportation of high-concentration brine, lithium-extraction brine and sea salt brine, regular shutdowns for acid cleaning or high-pressure flushing are no longer required.

6. HDPE Pipes for Seawater Desalination:High resistance to chloride ion erosion and geological settlement, no extra anti-corrosion coating required. Suitable for offshore water intake and on-site desalination pipeline networks. Many desalination project contractors compared technical specifications on the spot.

7. Complete HDPE Fittings & PP-R Pipes and Fittings:Full set of matching elbows, flanges, tees available for one-stop supply. Standard PP-R pipes for municipal and residential plumbing are in stock, with construction builders and local material traders negotiating regional distribution partnerships.
