Products: DOWLEX PE-RT Resins

Introduction

The family of DOWLEX™ PE-RT (Polyethylene of Raised Temperature Resistance) Resins has close to 30 years of proven track record for delivering outstanding performance in pipe applications – so much so that over two million kilometers of pipes have now been produced using DOWLEX PE Resins.

DOWLEX PE Resins are ideally suited for pipe manufacturers requiring extreme flexibility, high-speed extrusion, processability, and high temperature resistance. And they can be extruded or molded, making them a reliable and flexible choice for producers of industrial and domestic pipes.

Advantages

  • Safety: Unmatched surface smoothness means reduced pressure loss and deposit formation. The resins are also resistant to rough handling on site due to their inherent toughness. And all resins in the family demonstrate outstanding high-environmental stress crack resistance.

  • Ecology: DOWLEX PE Resins have an environmentally friendly stabilization package and are compliant with most drinking water regulations worldwide.

  • Economy: DOWLEX PE Resins are the most flexible on the market. Ease of installation leads to significant cost savings, and low temperature flexibility makes pre-heating unnecessary. DOWLEX 2344 and 2388 PE Resins also provide excellent long-term hydrostatic strength without the need for cross-linking, saving both time and money.

The resins also allow for welding, not possible with PEX, for example, and therefore help prevent leaks and contamination. Welding also enables connection through inexpensive, injection-molded connectors, and results in more flexible pipes, which is vital in many pipe applications.
