Resin enables piping to withstand many temperatures
Dow Packaging and Specialty Plastics
Piping made from this company’s proprietary Hypertherm 2399 resins (photo) provides a lower-cost alternative to piping made from copper, steel, or rigid plastic, and benefits from the material’s light weight, inherent flexibility, toughness and durability, corrosion resistance, and resistance to leakage. The resin is a certified Level 5 chlorine-resistant material (ASTMF2769, F2023) for use in piping carrying hot and cold water. And pipes made from Hypertherm resins are natural insulators, which can help to improve the energy efficiency of hot-water systems. — Dow Packaging and Specialty Plastics, Midland, Mich.
