Cross-Linked Polyethylene

Cross-linked polyethylene commonly abbreviated PEX, XPE or XLPE is a form of polyethylene with cross-links. It is introduced as a family of silane grafted polyethylene compounds curable by the addition of a catalyst masterbatch and exposure to moisture/ambient condition, mainly used for multilayer pipe, low and medium voltage cable. Cross-linked polyethylene can also be used for other applications requiring high or low working temperatures, and improved chemical and abrasion resistance. While the improved maximum operating temperature is one of the initial attractions of cross-linking, these materials have several features against uncross-linkable polyethylene.
