14th Wiesbadener Kunststoffrohrtage (Wiesbaden Plastic Pipe Days)

At the 14th Wiesbadener Kunststoffrohrtage (Wiesbaden Plastic Pipe Days), Dr. J. Hessel presented on the mechanical and thermal limits of PE 100-RC, introducing new creep rupture curves and discussing enhancements in thermal aging for improved temperature resistance.

The 14th Wiesbadener Kunststoffrohrtage (Wiesbaden Plastic Pipe Days) served as an international forum for polymer-based pipe systems. An important presentation titled “Mechanical and Thermal Limits of PE 100-RC: New Creep Rupture Curves and Enhanced Temperature Resistance through Improved Thermal Aging” was delivered by Dr. J. Hessel. His talk focused on the mechanical and thermal limits of PE 100-RC, introducing new creep rupture curves and discussing how improved thermal aging contributes to increased temperature resistance.
