With the launch of this new grade, Borealis completes its portfolio of ‘LS-H’ grades that are identified by their very high resistance to slow crack growth. The new grade can be extruded into a monolayer pipe or co-extruded with BorSafe HE3490-LS-H in two- and three-layer co-extruded pipes.

BorSafe HE3492-LS-H meets a growing need for safety in the gas sector, and its high resistance to slow crack growth allows pipe installation companies to use the latest high-speed, lower-cost techniques such as sandless bedding and no-dig installation without fear of the pipe being damaged during installation or in use. BorSafe HE3492-LS-H also offers installation companies high-quality welds while its processability enables extrusion companies to maximise line output.
