King Hy-Pact® VH

	There are many cases in which UHMW is specified for installations where its ultimate abrasion and impact resistance are not necessary. In many cases, the customer's only alternative was to use standard HDPE, which lacks the durability of UHMW in most applications. So the King team created King Hy-Pact® VH (very high molecular weight polyethylene), a unique product designed to be a perfect
	complement to UHMW and to bridge the wide performance gap between HDPE and UHMW. When used properly, King Hy-Pact VH allows distributors and manufacturers to reduce costs while suffering no performance loss. Naturally, good design practices dictate that new applications should always be tested before full-scale operations begin.

General Applications:

King Hy-Pact VH is environmentally stabilized,
making it ideal for indoor or outdoor applications.
FDA and USDA approved, with an opaque, white
color for a sanitary look.
Standard sheet sizes from 1/8" to 1" in thickness –
with some of the tightest tolerances in the industry.
Available standard in 48" x 120" sheets or in custom
sizes up to 72" wide and up to 120 feet long, which
often saves on installation costs and eliminates the
need for splices.
Smooth, non-skived finish has a low friction
coefficient for better material flow and superior cosmetics compared to UHMW.
Not affected by most aqueous acids, alkalis or
salt solutions
Extremely flat, low-strain sheet made with King
Plastic Corporation’s state-of-the art proprietary K-Stran® process.
Resistant to caking and bridging (build-up).
Suitable for deep-freeze or electrical
insulation operations

Feature

King PipeGrade® is a special black polyethylene material for the pipe industry.
It is available in sheets, slabs and massive shapes.

King PipeGrade® is now offering PE 4710 – PE 100 material, which is compliant to ASTM D3350 as a standard material. ASTM3350/PE 4710-PE 100 is completely compatible and 100% interchangeable for use in applications that presently use ASTM 3608 – PE 80 material.

PE4710 tends to have a higher hydrostatic design basis (HDB) than other resins but most significantly is the notched tensile/slow crack PENT test which is > 10,000 hours vs 100-200 hours for others.
