HDPE Pipe & Fittings
PE100 – RC (Resistant to Crack): ELTEX® Superstress® PE100 compound - a new generation of HDPE with exceptional resistance to slow crack growth based on leading technology with bimodal process catalyst. An exclusive polymer molecular design is tailor-made that consists of an optimal balance between polymer chains entanglement and crystallinity.
Benefits:
- Very good processability (ideal for thin layer coextrusion);
- Excellent low sag (LS) performance;
- Broad range of all diameters;
- Faster, cost-value and safety installation;
- Perfect choice for modern installation techniques ("sandless" and/or "no dig");
- Outstanding durability.
The users can enjoy continued performance control and unprecedented ESCR for most demanding applications. Slow Crack Growth resistance is certified above 8760 h according to FNCT, 80°C, 4MPa per batch produced. ELTEX® Superstress® adheres to German PAS 1075 (Public Available Specification) where the bedding consists of the re-use of the material dug as backfill.
PE100: ELTEX® PE100 IM - a new butane based PE 100 designed for pressure fittings.
Benefits:
- Lower cycle time;
- Lower internal stress;
- Less warpage;
- Improved surface;
- Easy processing.
Polyethylene for hot & cold water
PE – Xb (Silane Cross-linked): ELTEX® best in the class resin for silane PE-Xb compounds using two-step process or for the manufacture of PEX pipes using a simple-step.
PE-RT: ELTEX® PE-RT - a novel class of polyethylene of raised temperature resistance. An unique combination of properties offers the right choice for Hot & Cold applications: underfloor heating, plumbing, radiator connections, industrial applications.
Benefits:
- The best in class flexibility;
- Excellent processability;
- Production of smooth and glossy pipes without need of costly processing aids.
