Polyethylene raised temperature-type materials have been used successfully in domestic hot and cold water piping systems for more than 20 years, and in application areas such as radiant underfloor heating and radiator connections, states a Dow Chemical report. The use of PERT materials provides flexibility and ease of installation for the application.
Hypertherm 2399 is primarily used for hot and cold water distribution systems and Dowlex 2344 is used for radiant heating applications. This allows for optimization of material properties targeted specifically for the particular application. To avoid compromising product design, the applicable PERT products are the product of choice in their respective applications.
