Product Description
K44-15-122 is a natural high-density polyethylene copolymer designed specifically for extrusion of pipe. It has NSF Standard 14 certification for potable water applications, complies with ANSI/NSF Standard 61 health effects requirements, and is recognized by the Plastic Pipe Institute as having a pipe material designation code of PE 3608 (formerly PE 3408). 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 K44-15-123 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 listed with the Plastic Pipe Institute as having a PE 3608 (formerly PE 3408) and PE80 pipe material designation code.
