Leaders in the manufacture of heavy-duty PVC pipes and fittings in the Middle East
For nearly three and a half decades, we have successfully led the way in the field of cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) piping systems, which are used in the manufacture of plastic pipes for hot and cold water and offer unparalleled advantages in this field.
We are a large industrial and economic entity called “Bex Industrial Company Limited.” We were established in 1986 with the aim of manufacturing heavy-duty Bex pipes and accessories for the growing market in the Arab region and the Middle East.
We aspire for PEX to be the leading company in the industrial sector locally, regionally, and globally. We strive to achieve the highest level of customer satisfaction by providing high-quality products at competitive prices.
At Pex, we are committed to providing high-quality industrial products that meet customer requirements, satisfy their tastes, and achieve their goals.
Our values are based on the key principles of success, which are excellence and precision, customer and employee care, accountability and transparency. Most importantly, we value cooperation and teamwork, which create a strong working environment capable of producing effective and successful plans.
PEX is a type of petrochemical product derived from petroleum, specifically from ethylene, which is a gas, liquid, or granule scientifically symbolized by the letter “PEX.” When this substance is heated and placed under a certain pressure, its composition changes from ethylene to polyethylene, known as polyethylene. Polyethylene and other plastics, such as polystyrene, belong to a group called thermoplastics, or thermoplastics. These materials soften at certain temperatures, and if the heating process is repeated, they lose their mechanical properties, rendering them unusable.
Several decades ago, German chemist Thomas Engel developed high-density polyethylene into cross-linked reinforced polyethylene, and PEX belongs to the group of unsaturated polyesters, polyoxymethylene, and other materials known as thermoplastics. It is well known that the components of polyethylene (polyethylene) are carbon and hydrogen, which are connected to each other in an orderly manner in two dimensions. After undergoing Thomas Engel’s process, they became intertwined and connected to each other in three dimensions, where the molecular chains are not only connected and adjacent to each other, but also without a specific system, so that these molecules cannot move when the temperature rises, unlike polyethylene, which softens with repeated heat softening.
Lad X Link plastic is made from cross-linked polyethylene, which is chemically produced by treating polyethylene with a compound called “siloxane.” It is one of the best materials for manufacturing low-voltage (LV) cables.
Grafting and cross-linking are performed in a single step on the production line. The rate of water treatment can be controlled by varying the local humidity, and the cross-linking process can be completed within 3 to 7 days by storing the product outdoors, exposing it to sunlight and humidity. In arid regions, it is necessary to wet the produced cables before exposing them to sunlight for 3 to 7 days.
Since all additives are already present in Lad X Link compounds, there is no need to premix any other components (except for colorants, if required). Lad X Link compounds can be supplied on request with specific colorants and UV stabilizers for insulating overhead cables.
