PEX (Cross-linked polyethylene) tubing are the next step in the
development of polymer pipe. Through the use of the material PEX-b
With a large number of bonds between molecules, PEX pipe can
withstand high pressure and temperature changes, while offering
amazing flexibility and strength.
In accordance with the requirements of ASTM Standard F 876-93, life
expectancy of the pipe must be at least 50 years with the high
factor of safety.
Aging PEX tubing and hydronic radiant heating systems, primarily
affects the dissolved oxygen in the coolant that penetrates through
the walls of the diffusion PEX tube. But special oxygen barrier
layer (EVOH) penetration of oxygen into the coolant through the PEX
pipe is less than 0.01 g/m3 per day, far exceeding the
requirements.
