Product Description
MD0592 is a non-pigmented, high molecular weight MDPE copolymer, developed as a general purpose resin for use in pipe applications. MD0592 contains antioxidants to protect it during extrusion and end use.

MD0592 has been designed for extrusion into a full range of non-standard pipe products. MD0592 has been designed to be used as a base resin for striping and jacket compounds for use in pressure pipes made of MD0898. Addition of a UV stabilizer should be considered where the intended application involves intermittent to extended exposure to sunlight. Suitability for use in any application should be determined by appropriate performance testing.
