Borealis HE2590 High Density Polyethylene Compound for Crosslinked Pipes (Pex-C (Irradiation))
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polyethylene (PE); High Density (HDPE); High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Pipe Grade
Material Notes:	HE2590 is a high molecular weight, high density polyethylene compound for crosslinkable pipes, especially designed for electron beam irradiation crosslinking. The stabilization is optimized for good processability, easy crosslinking as well as service at high temperatures. Crosslinked pipes based on HE2590 are recommended for domestic hot and cold water supply, natural gas distribution, radiator connection, floor heating and industrial applications. Former trade name for this product was BorPEX™. Information provided by the Manufacturer.
