BorPEX HE1878 by Borealis A/S is a HDPE, HMW (Polyethylene, High Density (HMW)) plastic material.
General Information
Product Description

BorPEX HE1878 is a high molecular weight, high density polyethylene specially designed for production of crosslinked pipes (PE-X).

BorPEX HE1878 is intended to fulfill following standards and regulations, in case of appropriate industrial manufacturing standard procedures applied and a continuous quality system is implemented.
- DIN 16892
- DIN 16893
- EN ISO 15875
- ASTM F 876

BorPEX HE1878 is a free flowing powder for the PE-Xa, peroxide crosslinking process.The material is only stabilized for transporting and storage. Crosslinking agent (e.g. peroxide) and stabilisers have to be added by the pipe manufacturer. Good crosslink response and well-balanced powder size distribution enable effective soaking and a stable pipe production.
