If you like PEX you will love VIPERT, the new line of Radiant PE-RT tube manufactured in Canada by CB Supplies. Stronger, greener, fusible and more flexible, PE-RT strikingly outperforms PEX.
Why? PE-RT is a more pure material, manufactured from polyethylene – raised temperature, while PEX is polyethylene that is cross-linked. To make PEX, additives are blended in with the resin and a curing process is required to cross-link it. This makes the pipe stiffer.
PE-RT does not need to be cross-linked to meet North American standard requirements, eliminating the need for additives, resulting in a more pure product. It is this key difference that makes PE-RT stronger and more flexible than PEX, while also being recyclable and fusible.
