    Technical Data Sheet

    Alathon L5008
    High Density Polyethylene

    Product Description
    Alathon L5008 is a bimodal, high molecular weight, high density polyethylene resin with excellent processing
    characteristics. L5008 is selected by customers for demanding pressure pipe applications. When combined with
    an approved color or black masterbatch at the correct use level, L5008 may meet the following standards or
    requirements (see Technical Data Sheet for limitations and more information):
    ‡ ASTM D3350 Cell Classifications: PE445564C CC0, PE445564E CC0, PE445565C CC0, and
    PE445565E CC0
    ‡ NSF Standard 14 and Standard 61 for Potable Water Pipe and Fittings
    ‡ NSF Standard 358-1 for PE Pipe and Fittings for "Geothermal" Heat Pump Systems
    ‡ PE80 per ISO 9080 & ISO 12162
    ‡ Plastics Pipe Institute (PPI) PE 3408 and PE4608 per PPI TR-3
    Regulatory Status
    For regulatory compliance information, see Alathon L5008 Product Stewardship Bulletin (PSB) and Safety Data
    Sheet (SDS).

    Notes
    Typical Property values were determined on natural L5008 resin, unless otherwise noted. Conformance Test
    values were determined from L5008 compounded with an approved masterbatch.
    These are typical property values not to be construed as specification limits.
    Processing Techniques
    Specific recommendations for resin type and processing conditions can only be made when the end use,
    required properties and fabrication equipment are known.
    Approved Black Masterbatches
    The following black masterbatches are approved for use with Alathon L5008 when added to produce a carbon
    black level in the final article of 2.00 - 2.56 wt%. When using a nominal 35 wt% carbon black masterbatch, this
    will result in a use level of the masterbatch between 6.0 and 7.3 wt%. Addition levels may need to be adjusted
    due to variation in the certified carbon black level in the particular masterbatch lot.
