Why PE-RT?
Are we choosing inferior properties by opting for PE-RT technology?
The answer is a decided NO – this newly developed technology of manufacturing provides the same performance as classic PE-X technology, and also – the life of the products used in the installation does not end with the demolition of the building.
The recovered material can be reused in consumer products and in line with the idea of recycling – what is currently not possible with the PE-X technology.
Comparison of physical properties PE-RT and PE-X pipes
| Characteristics | PE-RT 5L- EN ISO 21003 | PE-Xa, PE-Xc 5L-EN ISO 15875 |
| Linear elongation coefficient (a) | 0,18 mm/m × K | 0,14 mm/m × K |
| Heat conductivity (l) | 0,41 W/m × K | 0,35 W/m × K |
| Density (r) | 0,933 g/cm3 | 0,94 g/cm3 |
| Minimal bend radius (Rmin) | 5 × D (outer diameter) | 5 × D (outer diameter) |
| Internal wall roughness (k) | 0,007 mm | 0,007 mm |
| EVOH shield in line with DIN 4726 | YES | YES |
Hot water installations

| External diameter | Wall thickness | PE-X 5L as per EN ISO 15875* | PE-RT 5L as per EN ISO 21003** | ||
| Permissible pressure [bar] | |||||
| Class 1 (Top/Tmax = 60/80 °C) | Class 2 (Top/Tmax = 70/80 °C) | Class 1 (Top/Tmax = 60/80 °C) | Class 2 (Top/Tmax = 70/80 °C) | ||

| 32 | 4.4 | 10.0 | 10.0 | 10.0 | 10.0 |
The above table shows that when using the 5L technology and the latest generation of PE-RT material, the specified working pressures in various application classes and diameters are the same both for PE-RT and PE-X pipes.
High and low temperature heating installations
application class 4 and 5 as per ISO 10508– comparison PE-X and PE-RT
As you can see above, the situation is the same when comparing the pressure resistance of PE-RT and PE-X pipes in both high and low temperature heating installations. Both comparisons self-evidently undermine the stereotypes common on the installation market about the higher pressure resistance of crossed-linked PE-X polyethylene pipes when compared to PE-RT pipes.
* Values based on minimum requirements as per EN ISO.
** Values based on material data for modern PE-RT material and 5L technology.
PE-RT is ecological solution for plumbing
When creating new solutions, we also think about the future – the service life of solutions and conscious and responsible waste management.
PE-RT is our declaration for the future.
In highly automated manufacturing processes, is used modern technological
solutions that minimise energy consumption and make it possible to generate
increasingly lower environmental impact.
Production methods and technologies – negative impact
and threat to the environment and health.
| PE-RT | PE-X | ||
| Energy savings in the production and processing of granulate. This technology does not require additional “reinforcing” treatments | YES | NO | PE-Xa, PE-Xb: Additional energy expenditure for the production of the chemical additives making it possible to cross-link and wash out the residual chemical cross-linking additives PE-Xc: Energy to produce the electron stream necessary for cross-linking |
| Recycling and disposal fully possible, plastic to be used after its life cycle | YES | NO | Recycling not possible due to cross-linking. Disposal possible only in the form of storing or incineration (CO2 emissions) |
| Full hygiene and safety, no processes harmful to health and environment | YES | NO | PE-Xa, PE-Xb: risk of insufficient flushing out residues of chemical additives which represent a real health hazard |
