Product Description
HIPLEX® TR-418 yellow is medium density polyethylene, high molecular weight, specially designed for pressure pipe manufacture. This yellow 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 yellow is recommended for pipe extrusion and injection moulding of fittings, especially high-pressure pipes for gas distribution systems.
HIPLEX TR-418 yellow is classified under ISO TR 9080 MRS classification as PE 80.
