Introduction of PEX Pipe

May 12, 2023

pex pipe

PEX pipe, also known as cross-linked polyethylene pipe, is made of polyethylene material. The linear molecular structure of polyethylene is changed into a three-dimensional network structure through physical and chemical methods so that the performance of polyethylene is improved.
Production Process
Raw material pretreatment + auxiliary preparation → mixing → melt graft extrusion → pipe forming → cross-linking → inspection and packaging → finished product.

The role and purpose of additives
The cross-linking agent is to crack the original linear molecular structure to form a graft material, thereby forming a three-dimensional network structure. The role of antioxidants and color particles is to improve the corrosion resistance of PEX pipes, prevent physical changes from long-term sunlight exposure, and resist long-term ultraviolet erosion, thereby prolonging its service life.

Application field
Indoor water supply pipes, hot water pipes, and pure water delivery pipes.
Liquid food transportation pipelines in the food industry.
Plumbing heating system, central air-conditioning piping system, ground radiant heating system, solar water heater system, etc.
telecommunications, electrical piping.
electroplating, petroleum, and chemical plant pipeline system.
