SCG Chemicals’ PE100RC: A Proven Solution for High-Density Polyethylene Applications

Innovation Product

At SCG Chemicals, our PE100RC (resistant to crack) grade, H1000PCH, continues to set the standard for performance and reliability in the piping industry. Not only is it renowned for its exceptional durability and withstand slow crack growth, but it also effectively addresses the growing demands of modern infrastructure projects. With its enhanced properties, H1000PCH excels in applications such as water distribution, gas transportation, and industrial systems, ensuring long-lasting performance even in tough and unpredictable conditions.

What truly sets H1000PCH apart is its remarkable suitability for advanced installation methods like Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD). Since HDD requires materials that can withstand significant stress, H1000PCH’s superior crack resistance minimizes risks during installation while also ensuring safer and more efficient operations. Furthermore, it helps reduce potential damage, which ultimately improves reliability and lowers maintenance needs.

PE100RC+ Qualification: A New Standard of Excellence

SCG Chemicals has achieved the prestigious PE100RC+ qualification from the PE100+ Association, signifying that our H1000PCH grade meets rigorous global standards for quality and performance. This certification underscores our commitment to delivering reliable, world-class materials to our customers.

The PE100RC+ qualification is awarded to materials that exhibit superior stress crack resistance, thereby reducing the risk of failure during installation and operation. To attain this certification, materials must pass stringent tests, including:

    • Strain Hardening Test (ISO 18488): Assesses the material's ability to resist deformation under stress.
    • Cracked Round Bar Test (ISO 18489): Evaluates the material's resistance to crack initiation and propagation.
    • Accelerated Notched Pipe Test (ISO 13479): Measures the material's performance under accelerated conditions to predict long-term behavior.
    • Accelerated Full Notched Creep Test: Tests the material's creep behavior under notched conditions.

These rigorous evaluations ensure that PE100RC+ materials, like our H1000PCH grade, offer enhanced durability and reliability, making them ideal for demanding applications such as trenchless technology installations. By achieving this qualification, SCG Chemicals continues to lead in developing innovative solutions that support infrastructure growth and sustainable practices across industries.
