SABIC P4200RT HDPE Multimodal Resin

Physical Properties

• Density: Measured according to the ISO 1183 standard, the density is 0.947 g/cc (0.0342 lb/in³). It is related to the material’s strength and stability for extrusion applications.
• Oxidative Induction Time (OIT): Following the ISO 11357 – 6 standard, at 210 °C (410 °F), the OIT is at least 40 minutes. A long OIT is essential for long – term use in hot – water pipe systems.
• Melt Flow: Tested by the ISO 1133 standard, at 190 °C (374 °F), it’s 0.45 g/10 min under a 5.00 kg load and 9.5 g/10 min under a 21.6 kg load. These values ensure effective shaping during pipe extrusion

Polymer Properties:

• Base Material: High Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
• Key Features:
  
  • High melt viscosity for extrusion.
  • Meets DIN 16833 / ISO 24033 for PE – RT Type II.
  • Offers excellent stress crack resistance and high – temperature stability.

Applications:

The outstanding long-term performance, pressure resistance, and crack resistance of SABIC P4200RT make it the material of choice for demanding piping infrastructure. Its primary applications are in:

• Hot & Cold Water Plumbing: Its ability to withstand high temperatures and pressures makes it perfect for pressurized water supply lines in buildings and municipalities.
• Piping Systems: Used for a wide range of industrial and municipal pressure piping systems, including those for potable water, natural gas, and wastewater.
• Underfloor Heating Pipes: The material’s durability and high-temperature resistance make it ideal for underfloor heating systems, ensuring a long and reliable service life.
• Underground Cable Protection Pipes: Its superior slow crack growth resistance is crucial for protecting underground electrical and communication cables from damage due to soil movement and external loads.
