Product Description
Borcoat ME0433 is a maleic-anhydride grafted polyethylene polymer with excellent adhesion to fusion bonded epoxy and the top-coat HDPE.

The system Borcoat ME0433 / Borcoat HE3450 fulfils the requirements of NFA 49-710, DIN 30670S and CAN/CSA-Z245-21-M98 when used in combination with compatible powder epoxy and applied under sound processing conditions. Borcoat ME0433 can be used up to 85°C service temperature of the pipe line, when combined with Borcoat HE3450.

Borcoat HE3450 is a black HDPE compound for pipe coating.

Borcoat ME0433 is primarily designed to be used as the tie layer between epoxy corrosion protection layer and the top-coat polyethylene, which gives the physical protection of the pipe.
