  • Polyethylene-based composition and process for the manufacture of articles shaped from the composition
    Patent number: 7052754
    Abstract: Polyethylene-based composition for which the standard density, measured at 23° C. according to ASTM Standard D 792, is greater than 940 kg/m3 and which comprises talc in an amount of less than 1 part per 100 parts by weight of polyethylene. The composition is preferably in the form of extruded granules. It exhibits a markedly improved creep resistance. Process for the manufacture of shaped articles and articles shaped from the composition, in particular pipe couplings and pipes intended for the transportation of pressurized fluids.
