ALCUDIA® T100N black compound is a high density polyethylene with a broad bimodal molecular weight distribution designed for the extrusion of pressure pipes for drinking water and natural gas. It complies with the requirements of EN 12201 and EN 1555 standards, with a MRS 10MPa - PE100 classification. The combination of the antioxidant system and minimum of 2.0 % well dispersed carbon black used in ALCUDIA® T100N provides an excellent protection against thermal oxidation during processing and good long-term thermal stability and UV resistance.

Because other good mechanical properties and their characteristics, and an excellent ESCR resistance the polyethylene black compound ALCUDIA® T100N, is designed to produce:

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

• Gas distribution and drinking water pressure pipes.

• Fittings and valves.

• Large diameter pipes without pressure.

Recommended melt temperature range 200 - 220°C. Processing conditions should be optimised for each production line.
