Borouge HDPE HE3490-LS classified as a MRS 10.0 material (PE100 grade), is a black, bimodal, high density polyethylene material produced by the advanced Borstar technology. This HDPE resin has many excellent properties and can be widely used in pressure pipe systems and other fields.
Applications of Borouge HDPE HE3490-LS
- HDPE HE3490-LS is designed for large diameter, thick wall pipes, but can be processed into pipes of various diameters. For example, pressure pipe systems in drinking water and natural gas, pressure sewage treatment, lining, sea drainage and industrial applications.
- In addition, HE3490-LS PE100 can also be used in other occasions where high strength, chemical corrosion resistance and weather resistance are required.

Performance Characteristics
- Excellent pressure resistance. The reason why it is classified as PE100 grade means that it has extremely high pressure resistance and is suitable for high-pressure pipeline systems. Good resistance to slow crack growth (SCG) and rapid crack growth (RCP) ensures the safety and reliability of the pipeline under long-term use.
- Excellent mechanical properties. High tensile strength and tensile modulus enable the material to maintain its structural integrity when subjected to external forces. Good flexibility enables it to adapt to different terrains and stress conditions during installation.
- Excellent processing performance. Good melt fluidity and thermal stability make the processing easier to control and improve production efficiency. Suitable for various processing methods, including extrusion, injection molding and blow molding.
- Long-term thermal stability and aging resistance. Special stabilizers are added to ensure the long-term stability of the material under high temperature and harsh environmental conditions. Excellent UV resistance prevents material aging caused by long-term exposure to sunlight.
- Chemical erosion resistance. Borouge HDPE HE3490-LS has good resistance to a variety of chemicals and is suitable for pipeline systems that transport various media.
- Environmental friendliness. The HDPE material is recyclable, helping to reduce the impact of waste on the environment.
- Customizability. Based on the specific needs of customers, the color, additives and processing properties of the resin can be customized to meet the needs of specific applications.
Storage and Handling
- HDPE HE3490-LS should be stored in dry conditions at temperatures below 50°C and protected from UV-light.
- Improper storage can initiate degradation, which results in odour generation and can have negative effects on the physical properties of the product.
