3.1 PE-X materials
- Corrosion resistance of the pipes: No pitting
- No tendency for deposits
- Polymer pipe material reduces sound transmission along the pipe
- Good resistance to abrasion
- All EDGE

pipes with WaterMark registration comply with AS/NZS 4020 (Components in contact with
potable water)
Peroxide-crosslinked polyethylene
Peroxide-crosslinked polyethylene is designated PE-Xa. Individual polyethylene molecules are cross-linked to form a three-
dimensional network, under high temperature and pressure with the aid of peroxides. This method ensures an even and very
high degree of crosslinking over the entire cross-section of even, thick-walled, flexible and kink resistant pipes.
