BorPEX HE1878E-C2 by Borealis A/S is a HDPE, HMW (Polyethylene, High Density (HMW)) plastic material.
General Information
Product Description
BorPEX HE1878E-C2 is a high molecular weight, high density polyethylene specially designed for production of crosslinked pipes (PE-X).

BorPEX HE1878E-C2 is intended to fulfill following standards and regulations, in case of appropriate industrial manufacturing standard procedures applied and a continuous quality system is implemented.
  • ASTM F 876
  • DIN 16892
  • EN ISO 15875
  • DIN 16893

BorPEX HE1878E-C2 Is a pelletized material in minipellet form for the PE-Xa, peroxide crosslinking process. The material is fully stabilized for the heating and plumbing application. Crosslinking agent (e.g. peroxide) has to be added by the pipe manufacturer. Good crosslink response and well-balanced pellet size distribution enable effective soaking and a stable pipe production.

The information presented on this plastic material data sheet was acquired by IDES from various sources, including the manufacturer of the resin and recognized testing agencies. In some cases, plastic material updates have been integrated directly into the IDES Plastics Database by the resin manufacturer utilizing the IDES Data Maintenance Tool. IDES makes substantial efforts to assure the accuracy of this plastics data. However, IDES assumes no responsibility for the data values and urges that upon final plastic material selection, data points are validated with the resin manufacturer.
