5 - PROPERTIES OF <strong>INTERSOL</strong> ® PEX-b<br />
Use of <strong>INTERSOL</strong> ® PEX-b offers various advantages, above all:<br />
1) Resistance to electrochemical and chemical corrosion<br />
2) Long life in relation to temperature and pressure<br />
3) Resistance to elevated temperature peaks (up to 100°C)<br />
4) Resistance to chemicals<br />
5) Low noise level<br />
6) Resistance to plastic creep<br />
7) Low pressure drop<br />
8) Low formation of deposits<br />
9) Resistance to low temperatures<br />
10) Flexibility
