Overview & Features

About G-Lex

G-lex is the brand name of HDPE resins produced from dedicated (HDPE) plants of GAIL (India) Ltd. G-Lex HDPE resin grades are manufactured by using CX slurry process technology of M/s Mitsui Chemicals, Japan. The technology offers a wide range of high quality HDPE resin grades.

G-Lex HDPE Resin Grades

G-lex HDPE resin grades offer excellent mechanical strength, high impact strength, easy processability, good low temperature impact resistance, high stiffness and superior ESCR for higher performance benefits in the end product. With medium to high molecular weight and narrow to very wide molecular weight distribution, G-lex resin grades open the door to vast array of application opportunities in pressure pipes, OFC ducts, blow moulded containers, thin films, monofilament, raffia etc. All the grades conform to BIS regulation for food contact applications.

Pipe Grades

P54A001/P54A001N is recommended for pipe application like potable water (IS 4984), sprinkler irrigation (IS 17425) and sewerage (IS 14333), meeting the hydrostatic strength requirements as per IS 4984:2016 for PE-80 material. It offers excellent processability, chemical resistance and mechanical properties. The material conforms to natural resin designation IS 7328-3B-PB-FXTA of IS 7328:2020.

E52U003/ E52U003N is UV stabilized grade recommended for PLB/DWC HDPE Telecom ducts. The material conforms to DoT, TEC specifications:

  • Generic Requirements No. TEC/GR/FA/CDS-008/04/AUG-2019, for ‘Permanently Lubricated HDPE Telecom ducts for use as underground Optical Fiber Cable conduits.
  • Generic Requirements No. TEC/GR/FA/DWC-034/02/AUG-2019 for ‘Double Walled Corrugated HDPE Ducts (DWC).

The material conforms to natural resin designation IS 7328-3B-PD-FXTA of IS 7328:2020

E52A003/E52A003N is recommended for pipe application like potable water, sprinkler, effluent, waste water systems and meeting the hydrostatic strength requirements as per IS 4984:2016 for PE-63 material. The material conforms to natural resin designation IS 7328-3B-PB-FXTA of IS 7328:2020.

P52A003 is virgin resin grade, suitable for producing high pressure pipes for potable water meeting the hydrostatic strength requirements as per IS 4984:2016 for PE-100 material. It offers high ESCR, high creep resistance and excellent mechanical properties. It possesses bimodal molecular weight distribution for excellent processability. The material conforms to natural resin designation IS 7328-3B-PB-FXTA of IS 7328:2020. The grade has a minimum required strength (MRS) of 10 MPa as per ISO 9080 and designated as PE-100 according to ISO 12162.

HM Film Grade

F55HM0003 / F55HM0003N is a high molecular weight blown film grade, possessing bi-modal molecular weight distribution for better processability with excellent mechanical properties. The combination of high strength and excellent drawdownability makes this grade an ideal material for thin gauge film applications. It is widely used for film applications like carry bags, shopping bags, trash bags, grocery bags, deep freeze bags, industrial liners etc.

Blow Molding Grades

B52A003/B52A003N is widely used for small size containers upto 5 L for foodstuffs (edible oil, ghee etc.), industrial chemicals (detergents, pesticides etc.), lube oil, toiletries & cosmetics etc. It offers an optimum combination of toughness, stress cracking resistance and excellent processability.

B63A003 / B63A003N is widely used for medium size containers upto 15 L mainly for foodstuffs like edible oil, ghee etc. It offers an optimum combination of toughness, stiffness, stackability and superior processability.

B55HM0003 / B55HM0003N is a blow moulding grade of high molecular weight, possessing bi-modal molecular weight distribution for better processability and excellent mechanical properties. The combination of outstanding creep strength, impact strength and ESCR makes this grade an ideal material for manufacturing medium size containers (50-120 litres) for packaging of Industrial chemicals and oils (open top and mouth barrels, jerry cans etc.).

Raffia & Monofilament Grades

W55A004/W55A004N has good processability and combines high tenacity with elongation. It is especially designed for manufacturing high strength yarn for ropes, fishing nets etc.

W52ASR009/W52ASR009N has good processability characteristics and good balance between linear strength and knot strength. Major usage is in medium strength ropes and twines.

W52A009/W52A009N has excellent processability and good balance of tape strength and elongation. It is suitable for manufacturing medium strength stretched tape for woven sacks and tarpaulin. It can also be used in manufacturing moderate strength yarn for fishing nets.
