SABIC HDPE P6006AD is engineered specifically for high-pressure pipe systems used in water supply, gas distribution, sewage conveyance, and industrial liquid transport. The resin features a controlled blend of high- and low-molecular-weight fractions, enabling both exceptional strength and smooth, stable extrusion performance. With an optimized carbon-black package (approximately 2.25%), the material demonstrates superior resistance to UV degradation, making it ideal for outdoor or buried installations requiring long service life.

The resin meets the requirements of PE100 (or comparable PE112/PE4710 classifications) used in international pipe standards.

Product Characteristics of HDPE P6006AD

  • Multimodal HDPE structure. HDPE P6006AD provides high stiffness, excellent hydrostatic strength, and reliable crack-resistance while ensuring good processability.
  • Superior long-term pressure rating. Suitable for high-pressure water and gas pipeline systems that require long-term hydrostatic strength and creep resistance.
  • Excellent impact resistance. High elongation at break (>350%) and strong notch-impact performance ensure durability during installation and service.
  • High UV & weathering resistance. Carbon black loading of approximately 2.25% protects the pipe against outdoor aging, sunlight exposure, and long-term environmental stress.
  • Outstanding chemical resistance. Inherent HDPE resistance to acids, bases, salts, and many industrial chemicals makes it suitable for harsh chemical transport.
  • Reliable extrusion behavior. Stable melt flow and high consistency support smooth pipe extrusion, uniform wall thickness, and excellent surface finish.

Performance Advantages​

  1. High pressure resistance. Sabic P6006AD HDPE material is rated as MRS 11.2 (PE112), with excellent long-term hydrostatic strength and can withstand a nominal pressure of up to 11.2MPa. Compared with ordinary PE100 materials, its pressure resistance is superior and it is suitable for high-pressure pipeline systems with strict pressure requirements, which effectively guarantees the safe operation of pipelines under high pressure environments. ​
  2. Excellent crack resistance. It shows good resistance to slow crack growth (SCG) and rapid crack propagation (RCP). During the long-term use of the pipeline, even if small cracks are generated due to external stress or environmental factors, the material can effectively prevent the cracks from further expanding and avoid sudden rupture of the pipeline, which significantly improves the reliability and safety of the pipeline system and reduces potential risks.
  3. Good processing performance. The moderate melt flow rate and multimodal molecular weight distribution make its processing performance very good. In common processing technologies such as extrusion, injection molding, and blow molding, HDPE P6006AD can be easily processed into products of various shapes and specifications, and the processing process is stable and the production efficiency is high, which meets the needs of large-scale industrial production and provides convenience for manufacturers. ​
  4. Long service life. With stable chemical structure, excellent weather resistance and anti-aging performance, under normal use conditions, the service life of pipes and other products made of this material can be up to 50 years or even longer. This greatly reduces the long-term use cost and maintenance cost, and has significant economic benefits from the perspective of the entire life cycle. ​
  5. Sanitary and environmentally friendly. It complies with relevant health standards and will not release harmful substances in application scenarios such as drinking water transportation involving human health, which is harmless to the environment and human body. At the same time, the material can be recycled, which conforms to modern environmental protection concepts, helps to reduce environmental pollution and resource waste, and contributes to sustainable development.

Main Applications

P6006AD Sabic HDPE is suitable for a wide range of demanding pipe and infrastructure applications, including:

  • Potable Water Pipes. High purity, excellent long-term pressure performance, and UV protection make it ideal for drinking-water distribution systems.
  • Gas Distribution Pipes. Superior stress-crack resistance, impact toughness, and creep resistance ensure safe and stable gas transportation.
  • Sewage & Drainage Pipes. Durability and chemical resistance support long-life underground sewage and wastewater pipelines.
  • Industrial Fluid Transport. Suitable for chemical plants, mining, oil & gas fields, and process pipelines that handle aggressive fluids.
  • Agricultural Irrigation Systems. Used for irrigation mains, water distribution lines, and drip-irrigation infrastructure exposed to sunlight and outdoor conditions.
