Product Description
Indothene-HD 46GP009 is a natural grade of HDPE, produced by Hostalen Stirred Tank Heavy Diluent (STHD) Slurry process at IPCL's Gandhar Complex. It possesses bimodal molecular weight distribution, which improves processability and mechanical properties. This grade meets the MFI and Density requirements of material as per IS:4984:1995 on "High Density Polyethylene pipe for water supply-specification". 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-A45-T012 mentioned in the clause 5.2 of IS:4984:1995. The pipe made from this grade meets the hydrostatic strength requirement of PE-63 class of pipe as per IS:4984:1995. The grade has excellent ESCR properties and is suitable for pesticide bottles upto 1 ltr. capacity.

FOOD CONTACT APPLICATIONS :
This grade meets the requirements of Indian Standard IS-10146 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 46GP009 is not more than 0.3% by mass of the resin. The antioxidant used in the grade are covered in IS:10141.
