| Thermally stabilized bimodal high molecular weight high density polyethylene-hexene copolymer, produced using advanced gas phase PE process in a single reactor. It is intended for use in PE-100 pipe applications where the highest standards of long term hydrostatic strength and resistance to slow crack growth are desired. These high performance pipes can be used at higher pipeline operating pressures and have a potential to down gauge. bEE 4906-AAH has good processability with a high specific output (kg/hr/rpm), exceptional melt strength with very low sag and good fusion compatibility. It is very suitable for large diameter and thick wall pipe but also for small diameter pipes. Main characteristics: natural gas distribution pipes (ISO 4437). Large diameter industrial piping. Mining, sewage, and municipal water service lines. (ISO 12201, ISO 4427) Mechanical property data for samples molded and tested in accordance with ASTM D4976. Information provided by ETHYDCO. |
