The development of PERT piping began in the 1980s in Europe. It was first introduced to the market by a German manufacturer called Hoechst AG in 1982. Since then, it has become widely used in Europe and other parts of the world.

In the early 2000s, PERT piping was introduced to the United States. Initially, it was met with skepticism due to its lack of a track record in the US market, but its popularity quickly grew as contractors and homeowners realized its benefits.

PERT piping is made of cross-linked polyethylene, a type of thermoplastic material. The cross-linking process involves adding a chemical cross-linking agent to the polyethylene, which creates a three-dimensional network of interconnected molecular chains.

PERT piping is highly resistant to stress cracking and creep, which means it can withstand high levels of stress and pressure. This makes it ideal for use in hot water and radiant heat applications, as well as in high-pressure plumbing systems.

PERT piping has been proven to last for over 50 years, making it a long-lasting and reliable choice for plumbing and heating systems. Additionally, its resistance to corrosion and chemicals means it won''t deteriorate over time.

Eco-friendly

PERT piping is also eco-friendly, as it is made from recyclable materials. It is also energy-efficient, as it has low thermal conductivity, reducing heat loss in plumbing and heating systems.

PERT piping is also used in industrial applications, such as in chemical processing plants and power generation facilities. Its resistance to chemicals and high temperatures makes it well-suited for these types of applications.

PERT piping is a flexible, durable, long-lasting, and eco-friendly choice for a variety of plumbing and heating applications. Its ease of installation and low maintenance requirements make it an ideal choice for homeowners and contractors alike. While there have been some concerns raised about its safety, it is generally considered safe for use when installed according to industry standards.
