Buteline Polybutene-1 (PB-1) pipe for the United Kingdom has a barrier layer applied during extrusion to prevent the ingress of air into the system, which can cause corrosion of metal components of circulated water heating systems (such as radiators and boilers).

Features:

• A thin layer of Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol (EVOH) is applied during the manufacture of pipe by co-extruding the EVOH together with a layer of specially formulated adhesive, directly onto the external surface of the pipe.
• PB-1 is not a hybrid material and was specifically developed for use with hot and cold potable water - Can withstand high temperatures and pressures.
• A proven solution for the conveyance of clean healthy drinking water.
• Increased flexibility, lightweight, easier to install.
• Does not corrode, and no scale build-up.
• Superior strength (40% stronger than PE-X, and almost double the strength of PP-R and PE-RT, as published in ISO9080 evaluation of PE-RT).
• Reduced wall thickness gives larger pipe internal diameter resulting in higher flow rates whilst lowering energy costs.
• Silent operation, virtually no water hammer.
• Excellent resistance to creep.
• The best choice for plumbing in climates where freezing conditions are possible.
• Low expansion/contraction rate - Reduced ’pipe sag’ and pipe clips can be placed further apart = save £££ and installation time).
• The pipe won’t split when water freezes and can be painted without risk of cracking.
• 25 Year guarantee.
