ALCUDIA CN-102 Repsol YPF Polyethylene, Low Density

Product Description

ALCUDIA® compound CN-102 has been esencially developed for coating of steelpipe using extrusion techniques. Furthermore it is designed for steelpipe coating to comply with the requirements of the DIN-30670 specification standard.
CN-102 is a high viscosity high molecular weight low density polyethylene black compound which offers easy processing combined with smooth glossy surface finish, excellent resistance to mechanical deformation and corrosion.
The combination of the antioxidant system and minimum of 2.2% well dispersed carbon black used in CN-102 provides the following features: excellent protection against thermal oxidation during processing, long term stability, and excellent protection against outdoor weathering.
Because of the good mechanical properties and their characteristics, the polyethylene black compound ALCUDIA® CN-10 is designed to produce pipe.
The ALCUDIA® CN-102 may be used in contact with foodstuffs.
