(Borealis) -- Borealis, a leading provider of chemical and innovative plastics solutions, is extending its range of high performance, high density polyethylene pipes with the introduction of a new ⌠PE 100 type grade for the gas market, BorSafe HE3492-LS-H.
With the launch of this new BorSafe grade, Borealis completes its portfolio of ⌠LS-H grades that are identified by their very high resistance to slow crack growth. BorSafe HE3492-LS-H is available in the colour orange for gas distribution pipes in addition to the already well-established black and blue coloured grades.
The new grade can be extruded into a monolayer pipe or co-extruded with BorSafe HE3490-LS-H in two- and three-layer co-extruded pipes.
