PE100-RC (Resistance to Crack)

WCI PE100-RC is an advanced polyethylene grade with exceptional resistance to slow crack growth (SCG) and rapid crack propagation (RCP). This grade provides exceptional durability in harsh environments and ensures pipe integrity without the need for sand bedding or protective layers.

Pipes and fittings made of PE100-RC can withstand much greater pressure, possible impacts and the effects of chemicals that cause microcracks. For this reason, it is the ideal choice for sensitive infrastructure projects, such as water, gas and sewage pipelines in areas with unsuitable soil or harsh operating conditions.
