| General comment | Silane cross-linked polyethylene, commonly referred to as PEX or XLPE, is characterized by its enhanced temperature and chemical resistance properties due to the cross-linking process. The product is detailed with its processing level indicating it has undergone silane cross-linking, and it complies with relevant standards. The quality attribute showcases its improved properties over conventional polyethylene. Usage information might include applications in plumbing or cable insulation, while the production route involves grafting silane groups onto polyethylene chains followed by cross-linking. It's provided as part of a production mix, and is available 'at plant' or 'to consumer', depending on distribution stage. |
