Product Description
BorPEX HE2515 is a silane crosslinkable compound which is used together with a catalyst masterbatch (Cat-MB) to accelerate the moisture-induced crosslinking reaction. It is designed for flexible crosslinkable pipes.

BorPEX HE2515 is designed for the requirements in DIN 16892/DIN 16887 for hot water pressure pipes, e.g. floor heating, radiator connections and for domestic hot and cold water supply.
