Product Description
Relene 46GP003 (PE-100) is a natural colored grade for pipe extrusion. It possesses bimodal molecular weight distribution, which improves processability. This grade meets the MFI, Density & Hydrostatic strength requirements of material grade PE-100 as per IS: 4984. When incorporated with adequate quantity of carbon black as specified in clause 5.2.3 of IS: 4984, pipes will meet PE:100 requirements.

Pipes made from Relene 46GP003 grade passes the Internal Pressure Creep Rupture Test when tested with 5.5 MPa induced stress at 80°C for 165 hrs and with 5.7 MPa induced stress at 80°C for 48 hrs as per clause 8.1 of IS 4984, thereby meeting the requirements of PE100 grade.

The grade conforms to ISO 4427 specification shown and has been certified for MRS> 10MPa as per ISO 9080.
