| BorSafe ME3444 is a bimodal polyethylene compound produced by the advanced Borstar technology. It is a readymade compound, including a carefully selected combination of pigments and stabilizers to ensure excellent long-term thermal stability and UV-resistance for limited outdoors storage of the final product. BorSafe ME3444 is classified as an MRS 8.0 material (PE80). Furthermore, it has a pigment system that gives a bright colored stripe, even when extruded as a thin layer on a black pipe. Applications: BorSafe ME3444 is recommended for pressure pipe systems in the application fields above. Specifications: BorSafe ME3444 is expected to meet the applicable requirements included in the below mentioned standards provided it is processed using sound material handling and processing practices as well as appropriate testing procedures. EN 12201; ISO 4427 BorSafe ME3444 provides an improved performance level in terms of drinking water related requirements such as migration limits. The sensoric properties like taste & odor are regularly monitored for the compound to ensure a high constant level of quality. The material shows excellent mechanical toughness and crack resistance also at lower temperatures. Thanks to the molecular structure, it offers outstanding extrudability and good melt strength, supporting a problem-free extrusion process to tight tolerances. BorSafe ME3444 is also recommended to extrude identification stripes onto black pipes produced from BorSafe materials. As the material is already a documented pressure pipe material, it also fulfills the requirements for a stripe compound according to EN 12201-2 and ISO 4427-2. Information provided by Borealis AG |
