Braskem GP100BK HDPE High Density Extrusion Polyethylene

GP100BK is a high-density polyethylene compound specially developed for the manufacturing of extruded pipes for water distribution. It is produced with bimodal technology and has high molar mass. It shows high mechanical properties and has excellent resistance to hydrostatic pressure and to stress cracking. This resin has the MRS (Minimum Required Strength) of 10 MPa, according to ISO 9080, and is classified as PE 100 according to ISO 12162. GP100BK contains carbon black that protects it against ultraviolet radiation action and photodegradation. Its applications include: black PE 100 pressure pipes for water distribution, underwater emissaries, and pressurized sewer systems; jacketing of underwater cables; and pipes for mining.
