Ambicat™ MB60 and BorPEX™ ME2510 innovations offer unique benefits for silane PEX heating pipes
Ambicat™ MB60 catalyst system by Borealis has added a new dimension to the manufacture of silane PEX pipe for domestic hot and cold water pressure pipes. Using the new catalyst, in combination with Borealis’ new base material, BorPEX™ ME2510, silane crosslinking can be achieved at ambient temperature within a few days for typical plumbing and heating pipes. This represents significant cost and time savings compared with the regular high density (HD)-PEX using a traditional catalyst, where crosslinking cannot be achieved at room temperature in a practical time.
