Rifeng PEX pipe is produced with crosslinked polyethylene. Crosslinking is obtained through a chemical process that increases the bonds between macromolecules to form a more complex structure than the normal polyethylene. Due to the crosslinking, the polyethylene's performance is greatly enhanced still maintaining the excellent properties of thermoplastics.
Rifeng 5-layer PEX Pipe
Rifeng 5-layer PEX pipe is made up of five layers: crosslinked polyethylene, adhesive, oxygen barrier, adhesive, crosslinked polyethylene. The layers of adhesive bind the two layers of crosslinked polyethylene to the central barrier layer by a thermal reaction. The barrier layer is right in the center, this preventing the pipe from being damaged by scratch and from reducing its performance due to the moisture.
Rifeng Corrugated Pipe
Rifeng PEX pipe running through walls or ceilings should be protected with corrugated pipe. In addition, it is advisable to protect the pipes after assembly against damages caused by other work being done on the site. The corrugated pipe in red or blue is made of polyethylene and is separately available.
