Product Description
BorSafe HE3490-IM is a bimodal polyethylene compound produced by the advanced Borstar technology.

Well dispersed carbon black gives outstanding UV resistance. Long term stability is ensured by an optimised stabilisation system.

BorSafe HE3490-IM is classified as an MRS 10.0 material (PE100).

BorSafe HE3490-IM is a high density hexene copolymer compound with an optimal balance between mouldability and strength.

Fittings are easily welded to HDPE and MDPE using conventional methods such as butt-welding, electrofusion or socket-welding.
