This involves the grafting organo-silanes onto a base material of cross-linkable high density polyethylene. Cross-linking is initiated at the time of production and is accelerated through the introduction of Heat and water/steam as a post production process. PEXFLOW meets the requirements of ASTM F 876 and ASTM F 877, all tubing is SDR-9 (determines wall thickness) and is produced to copper tube size (CTS) dimensions.
