Compare PE-Xb with PE-Xa Pipes
PE-X material is successfully used to make pipes using the peroxide (a), silane (b) or radiation (c) methods. PE-Xb pipes in particular are often used for water and heat distribution, because they are flexible, strong and resistant to disinfectant products. Owing to various impressive properties like high chemical resistance, superior strength to withstand temperature fluctuations of PE-Xb pipes were recognized as effective alternatives to PVC, CPVC or copper tubes in residential water pipelines. Find out for yourself why PE-Xb pipe are the best choice for many reasons.
