Why PEX: PEXGOL™ pipes are justifiably regarded as the “high-tech” of the pipe industry. Their enhanced properties, such as resistance to high temperatures, harsh conditions, and abrasion, as well as PEXGOL’s excellent long-term durability, have revolutionized the applications of domestic sanitation, infrastructure, industry, slurry transportation, pumping water and more. The application of PEXGOL pipes in industrial and mining projects worldwide is constantly increasing due to the obvious advantages of PEXGOL pipes. PEXGOL pipes have been installed in more than half a million houses and apartments buildings as well as in hotels, hospitals and office buildings worldwide. PEXGOL PEX pipes are special plastic pipes made of cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) in a wide range of diameters and classes, with an external diameter of up to 730 mm - the largest available PEX pipe diameter in the market. In addition to their use in potable water systems, heating systems, radiant floor heating and hot water transportation, PEXGOL pipes are recommended for use in various industries for the transfer of corrosive liquids and slurry pipeline and for drainage pipe systems. Their durability and self-cleaning qualities make them ideal for transporting heavy liquids and chemicals.

Material and Properties: PEXGOL pipes are made of high-density polyethylene resin (HDPE) with a high molecular weight (HMW). Polyethylene resin (PE) is a long chain composed of carbon atoms, with two hydrogen atoms attached to each carbon. The cross linking process removes two hydrogen atoms and creates free connections. The free carbons are linked across the molecules to form a three dimensional structure (PEX). PEXGOL has gone through a high pressure and temperature chemical process, creating connections between carbons from adjacent PE chains, making a complex 3D network of cross-linked PE molecules. This improves the properties of ordinary polyethylene, boosting its chemical durability and flexibility. PEX pipes are designed for working pressures of up to 24 bars, withstanding temperatures up to 110°C, but they can also withstand temperature surges up to 120°C.
