HERCULINE SPECIFICATIONS
Herculine high density polyethylene is produced from pipe grade virgin HDPE resin.
HercuIine HDPE has outstanding chemical resistance, mechanical properties,
environmental stress crack resistance, dimensional stability and thermal aging
characteristics. Herculine HDPE contains approximately 97.5% polymer and 2.5% carbon
black, anti-oxidants and heat stabilizers, and contains no additives, fillers or extenders.
Herculine HDPE has excellent UV resistance and is suitable for exposed conditions.
