New Hostalen PP Grades
HMC Polymers is very pleased to announce a new product family developed for pipe applications. Introducing HMC Hostalen PP grades offering the following important advantages for pipes:
- Good creep behavior
- Good weldability
- Light weight (density 0.90 g/cm3)
- Easy to install
- No deposits or encrustations
- Low wall friction losses
- Balanced stiffness/toughness ratio
- Very good processing and machining properties
- Very good chemical resistance
- Low tendency to environmental stress cracking
The new HMC Hostalen PP grades are:
Hostalen PP H5416T (PP-R)
PP Random Copolymer for Pressure Plumbing and Heating Systems.
Hostalen PP H5416T combines outstanding creep strength with good mechanical properties, internal pressure resistance and long-term heat resistance. It can be used for cold and hot water supply as well as other industrial applications.
Benefits of pipes and fittings made from Hostalen PP H5416T:
For Processors:
- Easy handling and processing on conventional machines
For Installers:
- Low weight of pipes and fittings
- Easy, fast and safe connections by welding
- Complete systems (e.g. large diameters available)
For Consumers
- Proven quality
- Environmentally friendly
- Corrosion resistant
- Good organoleptics
Hostalen PP H2483 (PP-B HM)
PP Block Copolymer for Non-Pressure Sewage and Drainage Systems
Hostalen PP H2483 offers the combination of high stiffness with good impact strength in both room and low temperature, allowing the option to down gauge pipe wall thickness which can reduce pipe weight, while maintaining the same ring stiffness level.
This can provide for:
- Pipe weight reduction compared to standard PP-B, PVC and HDPE
- Easy handling and installation
In addition, Hostalen PP H2483 offers:
- Long service life and ease of maintenance
- Excellent chemical resistance
- Dimensional stability over a broad temperature range
- Heat resistance
