Product Description
Borstar® HE3490-IM is a black, bimodal high density copolymer polyethylene compound classified as an MRS 10.0 material (PE100), with an optimum balance between mouldability and strength, produced with the advanced Borstar technology. Well dispersed carbon black gives outstanding UV resistance. The structure adapted for the application provides optimal strength properties. Long-term stability is ensured by an optimised stabilisation system.
