Environmental Stress Crack XR-5 Q&A

Environmental Stress Cracking (ESC) - Is there a product that won't fail?

Question:  I have read about Environmental Stress Cracking or ESC that can be an issue with HDPE.  Do you offer a product where ESC is not a concern?

Answer:  XR-5 is not subject to the environmental stress cracking problem because XR-5 will not fail due to  contact liquids,  stress concentration (geometric irregularity / mechanical
damage), fatigue (thermal cycling), residual stress (seam welding), localized stress (subsidence) and membrane surface imperfections (scratches/ gouges / nicks).
