Benefits of PE-Xb Technology
Pe-Xb polyethylene crosslinking technology using silane is used extensively worldwide, mainly due to the unique properties of the PE-Xb material, which is used to manufacture water and gas pipes.
PE‑Xb is best performing material for sanitary & heating pipes
Increased resistance to chlorinated water and high temperatures are unique properties of PE-Xb plastic pipes, which means that products made from this material are the ideal choice for water supply and heat distribution system applications.

Introducing the production of PE-Xb
Polyethylene (PE) is a thermoplastic polymer, which is not itself rigid, or resistant to high temperatures, however, its properties can be improved considerably by crosslinking using the peroxide (PE-Xa), silane (PE-Xb, radiation (PE-Xc) or azo method (PE-Xd). The silane method is used to produce crosslinked polyethylene in a water bath or steam chamber in the presence of silane (SiH4), which is used as a linking agent.
