Product Description
BorPEX HE2556 is a black, high molecular weight, high density polyethylene compound for crosslinkable pipes, specially designed for peroxide crosslinking. Well dispersed carbon black gives outstanding UV resistance. Long term stability is ensured by an optimised stabilisation system.

Crosslinked pipes made from BorPEX HE2556 are recommended for drinking water and industrial applications.
