TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

PROCOAT H.08.HT

Polypropylene Compound for Steel Pipe Coating

Description

Procoat H.08.HT is a polypropylene copolymer compound supplied in pellet form, white color, with very good
extrudability and melt strength performances. It is suitable to withstand high pipeline operating temperatures,
typical up to 120C for onshore pipelines and up to 140C for offshore pipelines depending on specific
pipeline design conditions. It contains UV-stabilizer and anti-oxidant in order to ensure excellent weathering
resistance and excellent long term properties.

Commercial Name

Procoat H.08.HT

Application

Procoat H.08.HT is recommended to use in typical multi layer PP or three layer PP (3LPP) coating
application for steel pipes.
