SharkBite Crosslinked Polyethylene is extruded as a PEXb pipe and manufactured using the silane or ‘moisture cure’ method and is made in a two stage simple process.
1. Silane grafted polyethylene is combined with a catalyst and extruded into PEXb pipe.
2. The cross linking process is then performed by exposing the pipe to steam.
The moisture cure process of cross linking PEXb pipe enhances pipe performance properties including strength, temperature,
chemical resistance, crack, creep and abrasion resistance, pipe flexibility, pressure rating, expansion and contraction.
Additionally SharkBite Crosslinked Polyethylene is made using a PEX100 raw material which provides the benefits of an SDR9 pipe
wall, improved flow rates, and a pressure rating equivalent to a SDR7.4 pipe.
