Qenos PE GM5010T2 Qenos Polyethylene, High Density (HMW)

Product Description

GM5010T2 is a black high molecular weight High Density Polyethylene copolymer grade designed to provide a balance of excellent processing characteristics with toughness, excellent chemical resistance, ESCR and weatherability. It contains an effective stabiliser and carbon black pigment which ensures long service life. A minimum service life of 50 years is achievable under appropriate pressure and temperature conditions.

GM5010T2 is designed for use as a general purpose jacketing compound for buried wires and cables where abrasion resistance and cut-through resistance in rocky terrain is required. It is also used for line-wire and drop-wire applications in a wide range of environments.

GM5010T2 has also been designed for extrusion into a full range of pressure and non-pressure pipe and fitting sizes, where High Density, PE 80 Type C resins are required. GM5010T2 is suitable for use in the transport of a wide range of fluids for industrial, rural and mining applications, including potable water.

GM5010T2 is designed to meet the requirements for PE 80 Type C compounds under AS 4131. GM5010T2 is suitable for food contact applications and conforms to the requirements of AS2070.
