1. Softness: PE-RT is relatively soft. No special tools are required for construction, so the processing cost is relatively low. 2. Thermal conductivity: pipes used for floor heating need to have good thermal conductivity. PE-RT has better thermal conductivity, and its thermal conductivity is twice that of PP-R and PP-B pipes. Ideal for underfloor heating use.
3. Low temperature thermal shock resistance: PE--RT has better low temperature impact resistance. During construction in winter, the pipes are not easily broken due to impact, which increases the flexibility of construction arrangements.
4. Environmental protection: PE-RT and PP-R can be recycled without polluting the environment. However, PEX cannot be recycled and will cause secondary pollution;
5. Processing performance stability: PEX has problems such as controlling the degree of cross-linking and cross-linking uniformity, and the processing is complicated and directly affects the performance of the pipe. However, PE-RT and PP-R are easy to process, and the performance of the pipe is basically determined by the raw material, and the performance is relatively stable.
PE-RT can be connected by hot-melt connection method, and it can be repaired by pipe fitting hot-melt connection if it is accidentally damaged. Floor heating raw materials have a creep failure curve that meets product standards, and are the only polyethylene that can be used for hot water pipes without cross-linking at this stage.
