PE-Xc

PE-Xc (European standard)

       PE Xc, a tube of polymeric materials, scientific name of radiation crosslinked polyethylene pipe is using high density polyethylene (HDPE) as raw materials to produce, and some other auxiliary materials (such as antioxidant, etc.). In the plastic extrusion machine extrusion (uncrosslinked) and the extruded uncrosslinked tube in the radiation device (electron accelerator or Co-60 irradiation station), using high energy X-ray (electron beam or gamma rays) of radiation crosslinking, the produced with the method of polyethylene tube called is a divergence of radiation crosslinked polyethylene pipe (PEXc tube).
       The crosslinking of polyethylene has chemical and physical methods, chemical methods are we often say peroxide crosslinking, silane crosslinking or azo crosslinking method. And physical crosslinking is no need to add chemical crosslinking agent, the use of high energy rays, the molecular excitation of polyethylene molecules generated free radicals, free radicals in combination with the formation of intermolecular cross link, the formation of the crosslinked structure of polyethylene molecules. The basic principle of radiation crosslinking is: high energy particles will be excited by the molecular excitation of polyethylene molecules free radicals, free radicals generated by the combination of cross linked bonds, forming a three-dimensional network structure of polyethylene molecules.

Product advantage
        Radiation crosslinking does not require chemical crosslinking agent, and the product has high chemical purity and good hygienic performance;
        PE-Xc tube is the use of cross linking process, extrusion is a common extrusion equipment, the appearance quality of the tube is more easy to control;
        The radiation crosslinking process is a solid state cross-linking, and it can be said to be a post crosslinking process. The crosslinking degree of radiation crosslinking is controlled by the radiation dose. The uniformity of the crosslinking is determined by the uniformity of the radiation, and the uniformity of the radiation is controlled by the computer, so it is very good;
        Due to radiation crosslinking need to build a larger scale of radiation facilities, radiation crosslinking production line of the initial investment is relatively large, so the production cost of the product is higher. PE-Xc tube not only has the other PE-X tube with heat, cold, chemical resistance, easy to bend, construction is convenient, long service life (up to 50 years) and other performance advantages. It also has the advantages of uniform cross linking degree, high chemical purity and good sanitary performance, especially suitable for the high purity requirements of pure water;

Product application
        Used in floor heating and radiator are connected in the environment of the system with a pipeline connecting oxygen barrier, mainly to prevent oxygen molecules into hot water system in the system component caused by corrosion, prolong service life of the system.
