Product Description
HIPLEX® TR-418 blue is medium density polyethylene, high molecular weight, specially designed for pressure pipe manufacture. This blue compound combines easy processing with very good mechanical properties, an excellent resistance to UV radiation and thermal ageing, and very high environmental stress cracking resistance, which gives pipes and fittings a maximum useful life.

HIPLEX® TR-418 blue is recommended for pipe extrusion and injection moulding of fittings, especially high-pressure pipe systems such as potable water pipes, industrial pipes etc.
HIPLEX TR-418 blue is classified as an MRS 8 material. It confirms different national and international standards such as ISO 4427, ISO 4437, EN 1555 and EN 12201.
