INEOS METALLOCENE PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY INEOS O&P operates its newest metallocene technology at its petrochemical complex in Germany. Thanks to a unique molecular architecture, Eltex TUB 220-RT (PE-RT material) benefits the advantages of a high extrusion processability combined with a differentiated balance of mechanical properties. The carefully optimised physical properties confer unprecedented properties in the PE-RT type II class of applications.
A novel class of Polyethylene of Raised Temperature resistance Eltex TUB 220-RT fulfils all the requirements of the newly established EN ISO 22391 standard with a PE-RT type II classification. Eltex TUB 220-RT polymer architecture has been tailor made to be well suited for the extrusion of monolayer and multilayer pipes and offers a unique combination of properties between mechanical performance at elevated temperature, pipe flexibility and superior processing behaviour.

Excellent processing behaviour has been proven at high line speeds (e.g. up to 50 m/min). Eltex TUB 220-RT distinguishes itself by the production of smooth and glossy pipes without the need of costly processing aids. Flexibility is a key requirement for easy pipe installation. Eltex TUB 220-RT ranks the best in the PE-RT type II class reducing the flexibility gap with PE-RT type I materials. HIGH FLEXIBILITY PE-RT type II competitive material b TYPE II resins PE-RT type II competitive material a PE-RT type I competitive material TYPE I resins 400 600 800 1000 E-MODULUS (MPa) This mix of properties makes Eltex TUB 220-RT the right choice in a range of applications: underfloor heating, plumbing, radiator connections, industrial applications. Using Eltex TUB 220-RT will enable you to produce innovative Hot & Cold pipes.
