ALCUDIA 3802-Z Repsol YPF Polyethylene, Medium Density

Product Description

ALCUDIA® 3802-Z blue compound, without cadmium pigments, is an hexene copolymer of high molecular weight especially apt for the extrusion pipe for potable water, to comply with the requirements or the UNE 53-490 as a PE-50B and prEN 12201 european specification standard.
The combination of the antioxidant system and the light stabilizer system used in the 3802-Z provides the following features: Excellent protection against thermal oxidation during processing, long term stability, excellent environmental cracking resistance.
Based on the new ISO classification, the ALCUDIA® 3802-Z compound is classified PE 80.
The ALCUDIA® 3802-Z may be used in contact with foodstuffs.
