Crosslinking peroxides
PEX-a (peroxide crosslinked polyethylene) pipes and tubes are a popular choice for plumbing and heating applications due to their flexibility, durability, and resistance to corrosion. The crosslinking process used for PEX-a enhances its thermal and chemical resistance, making it suitable for both hot and cold water supply systems.
Key features of PEX-a pipes and tubes include:
- Flexibility: PEX-a can be easily bent and shaped, allowing for easier installation in tight spaces and reducing the need for fittings and couplings.
- Resistance to scale and corrosion: Unlike metal pipes, PEX-a does not corrode or develop scale, ensuring a longer lifespan and consistent water flow.
- Thermal properties: PEX-a can handle high temperatures, making it ideal for hot water applications, and it has good insulating properties, which can help in energy efficiency.
- Ease of installation: The lightweight nature of PEX-a and its compatibility with various connection methods (such as shrink or expansion) simplify the installation process.
- Low noise levels: PEX-a pipes tend to reduce water hammer and noise levels compared to traditional piping materials.
Overall, PEX-a pipes and tubes produced with our crosslinking peroxides are an efficient, versatile, and cost-effective solution for modern plumbing and heating systems.
