Production
On our production lines gabotherm PE-RT pipes are manufactured in 10-25mm dimensions. They are especially intended for use in heating systems. RT stands for “raised temperature resistance”.
The base material of the pipes is polyethylene, the pipes are not cross-linked. Our PE-RT are oxygen-tight since they are produced as 3-layer pipes (PE base materíal, glue, oxygen barrier layer).
