HYPERTHERM 2399 Resin provides excellent taste and odor characteristics for great tasting water. Pipes made with HYPERTHERM Resins are natural insulators and help improve the energy efficiency of hot water heating. Flexible plastic pipes made with HYPERTHERM 2399 Resin are light weight.

Pipes made with HYPERTHERM Resins are easy to install and resistant to corrosion. It is a drop-in replacement for cross-linked polyethylene (PEX), requiring minimal tooling changes. Extruded pipe is ready for packaging directly off the line, requiring no post-extrusion curing.

Pipes made with HYPERTHERM Resins can be recycled back into the production stream as needed.
