Product Description
BorSafe HE3494-LS H is a bimodal polyethylene compound produced by the advanced Borstar technology.

It includes a combination of pigments and stabilisers to ensure excellent long-term thermal stability and UV-resistance.

BorSafe HE3494-LS-H is classified as an MRS 10.0 material (PE100).

It is especially designed for the production of larger diameter, thick wall pipe, but can be processed for the whole range of diameters. BorSafe HE3494-LS-H is a high density hexene copolymer compound with an outstanding resistance to slow crack growth.

BorSafe HE3494-LS-H is a high density hexene copolymer compound with an oustanding resistance to slow crack growth.
