Petrochemical industry

Faced with continually increasing temperatures and pressures in the petrochemical industry, HDPE needs to exhibit increased creep resistance when processed into tubes, and to provide additional adhesion to metal when co-extruded as a sandwich in steel or aluminum pipes.

In each case, PRIEX® resins can help achieve the levels of performance required by this demanding industry.
