Low thermal shrinkage

Polystrand™ Continuous Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites provide a reinforcing layer within the high density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe wall through thermal wrapping that is integrated into the pipe manufacturing processes.

Expanded global formulation ranges are also available with UL746A (resistance to ignition from electrical sources) and UL746B (long-term thermal aging) certifications.
