Product Description
BorSafe ME3446 is a bimodal polyethylene compound produced by the advanced Borstar technology.

It's fully stabilized against thermal degradation and the die buid-up during extrusion is minimized. Furthermore, it has a highly covered pigment that gives a bright colored stripe even when extruded as a thin layer on a black pipe. It also contains UV-stabilizer.

BorSafe ME3446 recommended for the production of identifying stripes of black pipes produced from BorSafe ME3440.
