Description
PRT Pipe, made of polyethylene of raised temperature resistance (PE-RT), is designed to convey hot fluids in industrial systems, offering excellent thermal stability, flexibility and durability. Thanks to its modified molecular structure, PE-RT can operate continuously at service conditions from 40 to 80 °C, retaining its structural integrity and mechanical performance. It combines the heat resistance of crosslinked polymers with the easy processing and welding of conventional polyethylene, making it a reliable option for high-temperature applications without requiring chemical crosslinking.
