Dow Launches New HYPERTHERM™
Resin for PE-RT Pipe.
Enabling Flexible, Leak-Proof Performance in Residential and
Commercial Plumbing Markets.
 Dow
is launching HYPERTHERM™ 2399 Resin for domestic and commercial hot
and cold water plumbing pipes at this year’s International Builders’
Show. The new resin enhances the flexibility of plastic pipe so
installers can bend water lines at turning joints allowing for ease
of installation.
“Turning joints have always been a challenge when installing copper,
steel and rigid plastic pipe,” says Oray Talu, market manager for
Dow pipe and irrigation products. “These are typically the first
points of failure and a major contributor to call-backs. Pipes made
with HYPERTHERM 2399 Resin eliminates the need for breaks at joints,
thus reducing the likelihood of leaks and contributing to greater
peace of mind.” Story continues below

HYPERTHERM 2399 Resin is
the first product to meet U.S. building codes and product
standards for plumbing while also achieving Level 5
chlorine-resistance certification. This key accreditation
gives contractors and homebuilders the flexibility to
install continuous loop, on-demand recirculation, and
traditional plumbing systems. 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.
“It’s a winning combination for contractors and
homebuilders: a flexible piping solution that is leak-free,
easy to install, and delivers hot water using less energy,”
says Talu. “Plastic pipes made with HYPERTHERM Resins offer
excellent durability and toughness contributing to extended
lifespan.”
