Hostalen CRP 100 RCD BLACK

High Density Polyethylene

Product Description

Hostalen CRP 100 RCD black is a high density polyethylene (HDPE), black coloured similar RAL 9004 with high
melt viscosity for extrusion, injection and compression moulding. The product is classified as PE 100-RC.
This new generation of HDPE material has been designed to meet new technical requirements for drinking water
piping systems. The material exibits an improved resistance against water disinfectants.
The product provides excellent stress crack resistance properties (ESCR) combined with very good long term
hydrostatic strength, making it the ideal choice for trenchless installation techniques. It fully complies with the
new PE100-RC requirements in the draft EN 12201-1 : 2021. Hostalen CRP 100 RCD black is also compliant to
ISO 4427-1.

Regulatory Status
For regulatory compliance information, see Hostalen CRP 100 RCD BLACK Product Stewardship Bulletin (PSB)

Health and Safety:
The resin is manufactured to the highest standards, but special requirements apply to certain applications such
as food end-use contact and direct medical use. For specific information on regulatory compliance contact your
local representative.

Workers should be protected from the possibility of skin or eye contact with molten polymer. Safety glasses are
suggested as a minimal precaution to prevent mechanical or thermal injury to the eyes.

Molten polymer may be degraded if it is exposed to air during any of the processing and off-line operations. The
products of degradation may have an unpleasant odor. In higher concentrations they may cause irritation of the
mucus membranes. Fabrication areas should be ventilated to carry away fumes or vapours. Legislation on the
control of emissions and pollution prevention should be observed.

The resin will burn when supplied with excess heat and oxygen. It should be handled and stored away from
contact with direct flames and/or ignition sources. While burning, the resin contributes high heat and may
generate a dense black smoke.

Recycled resins may have previously been used as packaging for, or may have otherwise been in contact with,
hazardous goods. Converters are responsible for taking all necessary precautions to ensure that recycled resins
are safe for continued use.

For further information about safety in handling and processing please refer to the Safety Data Sheet.
Conveying:
Conveying equipment should be designed to prevent production and accumulation of fines and dust particles
that are contained in polymer resins. These particles can under certain conditions pose an explosion hazard.
Conveying systems should be grounded, equipped with adequate filters and regularly inspected for leaks.
Storage:
The resin is packed in 25 kg bags, octabins or bulk containers protecting it from contamination. If it is stored
under certain conditions, i. e. if there are large fluctuations in ambient temperature and the atmospheric humidity
is high, moisture may condense inside the packaging. Under these circumstances, it is recommended to dry the
resin before use. Unfavorable storage conditions may also intensify the resin's slight characteristic odor.

Resin should be protected from direct sunlight, temperatures above 40°C and high atmospheric humidity during
storage. Higher storage temperatures may reduce the storage time.

The information submitted is based on our current knowledge and experience. In view of the many factors that
may affect processing and application, these data do not relieve processors of the responsibility of carrying out
their own tests and experiments; neither do they imply any legally binding assurance of certain properties or of
suitability for a specific purpose. This information does not remove the obligation of the customer to inspect the
material on arrival and notify us of any faults immediately. It is the responsibility of those to whom we supply our
products to ensure that any proprietary rights and existing laws and legislation are observed.
