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
