A PEROXIDE CROSSLINKED ETHYLENE POLYMER PRESSURE PIPE AND A METHOD FOR THE PREPARATION THEREOF

A peroxide crosslinked ethylene polymer pressure pipe and a method for the preparation thereof are described. The pipe is characterised in that it comprises an ethylene polymer with a density of less than 950 kg /m3 obtained by polymerisation with a single-site catalyst and having a shear thinning i...

More Information
Summary:A peroxide crosslinked ethylene polymer pressure pipe and a method for the preparation thereof are described. The pipe is characterised in that it comprises an ethylene polymer with a density of less than 950 kg /m3 obtained by polymerisation with a single-site catalyst and having a shear thinning index, SHI5/300 of less than 20 and a MWD of <10. The method is characterised in that it comprises polymerising ethylene, optionally together with at least one comonomer, with a single- site catalyst to provide the above defined ethylene polymer, forming the ethylene polymer into a pipe by extrusion and crosslinking it. ® KIPO & WIPO 2007
