HEX4460 High Density Polyethylene Extrusion Pipe Grade

Introduction

HEX4460 is a specialized grade of high density polyethylene (HDPE) in the field of extrusion, specifically designed for the production of various types of pipes and in terms of technical performance, it is in the category of grades equivalent to PE80+. Focusing on stable mechanical properties, good resistance to internal pressure and long service life, this product is a reliable option for polyethylene pipe manufacturers in construction, infrastructure and industrial projects.

In today’s market, especially for manufacturers targeting both the domestic market and exports to countries such as Russia, CIS countries, China and the Persian Gulf, choosing a grade with uniform and standardizable quality is of great importance. HEX4460, with its controlled molecular structure, allows the production of pipes with reliable performance and in accordance with the technical requirements of these markets.

Product Description

HEX4460 is an extrusion grade of HDPE designed for continuous extrusion pipe production. This grade provides a good balance between mechanical strength, flexibility and resistance to stress cracking. The molecular structure of this material is such that it can withstand long-term working pressure, placing it in the category of pipe grades with performance close to PE80+.

These characteristics make HEX4460 an economical and reliable choice for the production of water pipes, urban and rural water supply networks, low-pressure sewage systems and some industrial applications.

Technical characteristics of HEX 4460

Good mechanical resistance to pressure

HEX4460 is able to withstand continuous internal pressure over long periods of time. This characteristic is of vital importance for pipes that are constantly under tension.

Stress Crack Resistance (ESCR)

One of the strengths of this grade is its good resistance to environmental stress cracking, which increases the life of the pipe in harsh working conditions.

Stable processability in extrusion

This grade has a controlled flow that ensures uniform extrusion, consistent wall thickness and a smooth outer surface of the pipe.

Dimensional stability

Pipe produced with HEX4460 has minimal deformation during the production process and after cooling, which is very important for maintaining dimensional standards.

Chemical resistance

This material is resistant to many chemicals, salts and compounds found in water and soil and is suitable for use in various environmental conditions.

Applications

• Production of water supply pipes

HEX4460 is a reliable choice for the production of pipes for drinking water and raw water with medium working pressure.

• Sewerage pipes

This grade is widely used in low-pressure sewage systems due to its chemical resistance and durability.

• Industrial pipes

This grade is used to transport non-corrosive fluids in various industries.

• Export applications

Consistent quality and compliance with common standards make HEX4460 a suitable option for export to the CIS, Russian, Chinese and Gulf markets.

Advantages

• Technical performance close to PE80+ grade
