Product Description
Borstar HE3470-LS is a black, bimodal, high density polyethylene classified as a MRS 8.0 material (PE80) produced by the advanced Borstar technology. Well dispersed carbon black gives outstanding UV resistance. Long term stability is ensured by an optimised stabilisation system.

Borstar HE3470-LS is now registered with the international Traceability coding (Traccoding), under the code R02, in support of ISO12176-4 (2003).

Borstar HE3470-LS is recommended for pressure pipe systems in the applications field of drinking water, natural gas, pressure sewerage, relining, sea outfall and industrial. The combination of high mechanical strength and excellent long term performance together with improved sagging performance makes it the ideal pressure pipes material.
