Indothene HD 45GP004 Reliance Polyethylene, High Density

Product Description

Indothene-HD 45GP004 is a natural coloured PE 80 (MRS 8 MPa*) material for pipe extrusion, produced by Stirred Tank Heavy Diluent (STHD) Slurry process. It possesses bimodal molecular weight distribution, which improves processability.
This grade meets the MFI, Density & Hydrostatic strength requirements of material grade PE 80 as per IS:4984:1995 on "High Density Polyethylene pipe for water supply-specification". The designation of the natural resin of 45GP004 is PE-ENA-C45-T006 as per IS:7328-1992 and shall meet the same given in the amendment No. 2 of IS:4984:1995. When incorporated with adequate quantity of carbon black as specified in clause 5.2.3 of IS:4984:1995, will meet the requirements of the designation PE-EW-C45-T006 mentioned in the clause 5.2 of IS:4984:1995.

This grade meets the requirements of Indian Standard IS-10146-1982 on "Polyethylene for its safe use in contact with food stuffs, pharmaceuticals and drinking water". It also conforms to the positive list of constituents as approved in IS:10141:1982. The grade complies with FDA regulation : CFR title 21 , 177.1520, Olefin polymer. The level of antioxidant in 45GP004 is not more than 0.3% by mass of the resin.
