PEX-AL-PEX Pipeline
Polygon PE(X)-AL-PE(X) pipes are made of aluminum layer sandwiched between two layers of PE(X). The metal layer serves as an oxygen barrier, stopping oxygen diffusion through the polymer matrix, so it cannot dissolve into the water in the tube and corrode the metal components of the system. It also bends better, as the shape memory of PEX is offset by the aluminum.
1) Dimensions: DN.16-32mm
2) Color: natural color
3) Form supplied: coil
Advantages of PEX-AL-PEX Pipeline:
1) Its consistency is very strong and it has the ability to bend
2) Superior resistant properties of high temperature, high pressure, corrosion and fire
3) Smooth inner surface of the pipe reduces flow resistance to fluids and has the ability to convey water more efficiently than metal pipes by 30%
4) Thermal conductivity is 0.45W/m.k and is more cost effective than metal pipes, therefore, saves insulation material costs used for outer pipes
5) Easy cutting and convenient installation
6) Underground pipes are easily found with metal detectors
7) It has excellent static-shield properties and is often used for covering electric cabling.
Applications of PEX-AL-PEX Pipe:
1) Underfloor heating system of residential building, public building, bathroom, swimming pool and outdoor thawing
2) Distribution of gas and air
3) Cold and hot water supply and pipelines for drinking water system
4) Solar energy, air-conditioning & refrigeration system
