Abstract
The invention relates to a polymeric molding compound made from a first ethylene polymer (A) and from a second ethylene polymer (B) which is particularly suitable for producing thick-walled large-caliber pipes, wherein the molding compound comprises an amount in the range from 55 to 75% by weight of the first ethylene polymer (A) and an amount in the range from 25 to 45% by weight of the second ethylene polymer (B), based in each case on the total weight of the molding compound, where the first ethylene polymer (A) is a copolymer of ethylene with a 1-olefin having a total number of carbon atoms in the range from 4 to 10 as comonomer, and with a proportion of from 0.2 to 5% by weight of comonomer, based on the weight of the first ethylene polymer (A), and with a wide bimodal molar mass distribution, and where the second ethylene polymer (B) is a copolymer made from ethylene units and from a 1-olefin having a number of carbon atoms in the range from 4 to 10, which has a bimodal molar mass distribution differing from that of the first ethylene polymer (A). The invention further relates to a high-strength pipe made from this molding compound, and to its use for the transport of gas or water.
