DGDZ 3606 PE-RT Type I Resin — PetroChina Dushanzi Temperature Resistance Polyethylene

DGDZ 3606 is a metallocene-catalyzed PE-RT Type I resin produced by PetroChina Dushanzi Petrochemical Company and marketed under the Kun Lun trade mark.

Manufactured via the Unipol gas phase fluidized bed process with hexene-1 as comonomer, the grade is engineered for continuous hot water service and radiant floor heating pipe applications requiring sustained elevated-temperature performance.

CAS No.: 9002-88-4

Description

DGDZ 3606 comes out of Dushanzi Petrochemical's 600 KTA FDPE plant using a dual-active-site metallocene catalyst — a production detail that matters for pipe applications. Metallocene catalysis produces a narrower molecular weight distribution than conventional Ziegler-Natta grades, which translates into more uniform pipe wall properties and consistent creep behavior over long service cycles at elevated temperatures. Polymer-grade ethylene is the primary feedstock, with hexene-1 as comonomer to introduce the short-chain branching that gives PE-RT its raised-temperature resistance.

The melt flow rate of 12.2 g/10min (measured at 21.6 kg / 190°C, within the 10–16 g/10min specification) places DGDZ 3606 in the processing range suited for continuous extrusion lines producing hot water distribution pipe and underfloor heating circuits. Density sits at 0.9372 g/cm³ — mid-range within the 0.934–0.940 g/cm³ specification band — balancing the crystallinity needed for pressure resistance with the flexibility PE-RT pipe systems require during installation.

Mechanical results from the September 2023 batch inspection exceed specification minimums by meaningful margins. Tensile strength at yield reaches 17.2 MPa against a ≥15 MPa requirement. Elongation at break measures 849% — 30% above the ≥650% specification floor. Charpy impact strength at 23°C comes in at 33 kJ/m², nearly double the 20 kJ/m² minimum. For pipe running through screed or concrete, impact performance at ambient temperature determines how much stress the material tolerates during installation before the system is ever pressurized.

The oxidation induction time (isothermal OIT at 210°C) measured 71.0 minutes in the most recent inspection — 78% above the ≥40 minute specification. OIT is the key long-term durability indicator for elevated-temperature polyethylene pipe resins: it measures how long the antioxidant package stabilizes the polymer under thermal oxidative conditions. A value of 71.0 minutes gives pipe producers confidence in processing stability and long-term in-service life.

BASTONE distributes DGDZ 3606 from PetroChina Dushanzi production runs with batch-traceable documentation. Each shipment carries a Certificate of Analysis keyed to the production batch number — buyers can cross-reference the specific inspection date, batch size, and individual test results against the original Dushanzi quality records.

Applications

DGDZ 3606 is qualified for PE-RT Type I pipe extrusion, with primary use in hot water distribution and radiant floor heating systems. The PE-RT designation — Polyethylene of Raised Temperature Resistance — identifies a class of HDPE engineered with specific comonomer insertion and molecular weight architecture to sustain continuous service at water temperatures that would degrade standard pipe-grade HDPE over time.

Floor heating pipe runs embedded in screed beneath tile, stone, or floating floors. Operating conditions combine moderate pressure — typically 0.4–0.8 MPa — with continuous hot water circulation at 60–70°C and intermittent peaks above that range. Replacement of embedded floor heating pipe requires full floor demolition, which means long-term oxidative stability is a primary specification concern, not a secondary one. An OIT of 71.0 minutes at 210°C indicates the antioxidant package in DGDZ 3606 survives both the extrusion process and decades of thermal cycling in service.

The grade also applies to hot water supply lines in residential and commercial HVAC distribution systems, hydronic heating manifold connections, and underfloor heating collector loops. Pipe producers working to EN ISO 22391 or GB/T 28799 pipe certification specify PE-RT Type I resins qualified under the same Q/SY DS 129-2022 production standard that governs DGDZ 3606.

Handling, Storage & Safety Guidelines

DGDZ 3606 pellets present no significant acute hazard under normal handling and processing conditions. Intact pellets require no special respiratory protection. Conveying and bulk transfer operations can generate nuisance polyethylene dust; standard industrial ventilation and dust control measures apply. Keep the material away from strong oxidizing agents and ignition sources — polyethylene is combustible and should be stored in compliance with local fire codes for combustible solids.

Store in original sealed packaging in a cool, dry location with adequate ventilation, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Sealed bags prevent moisture uptake, which can cause surface defects and bubble formation during extrusion. Processing temperatures during pipe extrusion typically reach 180–220°C; adequate ventilation of the processing area is required to manage any thermal decomposition products at elevated temperature.

No special spill response procedures apply to the pelletized form — recover mechanically and dispose according to local regulations. The full PetroChina Dushanzi Safety Data Sheet, covering complete GHS classification, exposure limits, and disposal requirements, is available upon request.

Why Source Through BASTONE

Batch-traceable DGDZ 3606 shipments
Batch-traceable DGDZ 3606 shipments with Certificate of Analysis documentation for every production lot.

BASTONE Petrochem distributes DGDZ 3606 through its direct relationship with PetroChina's distribution network, which covers Dushanzi Petrochemical production. Batch-traceable COA documentation accompanies every shipment — not a generic distributor certificate, but documentation tied to the specific production batch number, inspection date, and Dushanzi quality seal. Buyers who require mill-level traceability for pipe certification audits receive exactly that.

The parent BASTONE group operates its own R&D center and four manufacturing sites. That production background means the commercial team understands polymer processing, not just logistics. When procurement engineers have questions about grade selection for a specific pipe extrusion setup — comparing DGDZ 3606 against other PE-RT Type I resins in PetroChina's portfolio, or evaluating whether a given MFR range suits their line speed — BASTONE provides technically grounded answers.

Export operations run through Zhejiang Bastone Technology Co., Ltd, an established platform with experience handling polyethylene shipments to pipe producers across Southeast Asia, Central Asia, and the Middle East. The platform adapts to different trade terms, packaging configurations, third-party inspection requirements, and documentation formats. FCL, LCL, and bulk container bag options are all available depending on order volume and destination port.
