Applications
HE1878E-C2 is recommended for the production of crosslinked pipes used in

• Plumbing

• Heating

• District heating

• Relining

• Industrial

• Domestic gas

• Domestic water

Specifications
HE1878E-C2 is intended to fulfill following standards and regulations, in case of appropriate industrial manufacturing standard procedures applied and a continuous quality system is implemented.

• ASTM F 876

• DIN 16892

• EN ISO 15875

• DIN 16893

Special features
HE1878E-C2 Is a pelletized material in minipellet form for the PE-Xa, peroxide crosslinking process. The material is fully stabilized for the heating and plumbing application. Crosslinking agent (e.g. peroxide) has to be added by the pipe manufacturer. Good crosslink response and well-balanced pellet size distribution enable effective soaking and a stable pipe production.

The material furthermore is accredited with the highest chlorine resistance rating available (Class 5 listing according to ASTM F876).
