Product Description
K44-08-122 is a natural high density polyethylene copolymer designed specifically for extrusion of potable water, industrial, and mining pipe. It is recognized by the Plastic Pipe Institute as having a pipe material designation code of PE 3608 (formerly PE 3408), NSF Standard 14 certification, and complies with ANSI/NSF Standard 61 for health effects requirements. A pressure rated formulation is also produced when this product is extruded in combination with an Ineos approved black masterbatch. The resulting formulation known as K44-08-123 has NSF Standard 14 certification and complies with ANSI/NSF Standard 61 health effects requirements, is certified to CSA Standard B137.1-05 and B137.4-05, and is also listed with the Plastic Pipe Institute as a PE 3608 (formerly PE 3408).
