Benefits with LK PE-Xa pipes
▫▫ Strength: Molecular orientation gives the LK PE-Xa pipe strength.
▫▫ Excellent homogeneity: The material is thoroughly blended when extruded for a perfect homogeneity and
antioxidant dispersion.
▫▫ Good temperature behavior: The pipe can withstand temperatures down to – 100 °C and short term up to
110 °C.
▫▫ High flexibility: Easy and ergonomic to install.
▫▫ Kinking resistance: Because of the high flexibility of the LK PE-Xa pipe kinking resistance is excellent.
▫▫ Thermal memory: If the pipe is “kinked” it can restore its form when being heated (> 133 °C).
▫▫ Chemical resistant: Improved ESCR (environmental stress cracking resistance) and resistant to several
chemicals.
▫▫ Crack propagation resistant: Stands scratches as the material is resistant to crack propagation.
▫▫ Wear resistant: Excellent abrasion resistance.
▫▫ Low friction: Low pressure drop and no risk of deposit sediments.
▫▫ Electric isolated: Being a non-polar material, the PE-Xa pipes have excellent electric isolation
properties.
▫▫ UV stabilized: Apart from antioxidants to give the pipe long term stability, LK Pex also mix UV
stabilizer into the raw material giving the LK PE-Xa pipes short term resistance to
UV radiation.
