Como Pex pipes are factory covered with thermal insulation sleeves and are suitable for all applications that require a high degree of insulation against condensation and energy loss combined with an extremely practical and economical installation.
The characteristics of insulated pipe are:
- It has in practice (35kgr/m3) probably the highest density on the market, an element that contributes decisively to saving energy and avoiding condensation.
- The insulation is produced in a pre-formed cylindrical shape (tube). Through special equipment it is cut, extruded, applied to the pipe and welded. Finally, the insulator is covered with a polyethylene protective film. This method prevents the phenomenon of delamination at the joint, which is observed when the insulation is produced in horizontal plates which are folded for application to the pipe, consequently (due to stresses) opening at the welding seam, an action due to the "memory of initial form of the foam, resulting in the destruction of the insulation in various places.
- The additional protective film has a textured surface, with the extrusion of Polyethylene carried out from 8 points, so the final product is robust and durable and above all it fits tightly to the pipe, which is of particular importance for maintaining the original thermal insulation elements.
Interplast, loyal to the principles of quality demanded by the technical world, inside and outside the country, continues to design products characterized by innovation and attention to detail.
