Volatile organic components migrating from plastic pipes (HDPE, PEX and PVC) into drinking water.
High-density polyethylene pipes (HDPE), crossbonded polyethylene pipes (PEX) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes for drinking water were tested with respect to migration of volatile organic components (VOC) to water. The odour of water in contact with plastic pipes was assessed according to the quantitative threshold odour number (TON) concept. A major migrating component from HDPE pipes was 2,4...
متن کاملOrganic peroxides for PEX-a pipes and tubes
AkzoNobel’s range of organic peroxides for the crosslinking of elastomers and thermoplastics is the world’s largest, including a number of organic peroxides for the production of PEX-a pipes and tubes. Our products are marketed under the well-known trademark of Trigonox. When producing PE pipes and tubes, frequently high density polyethylene (HDPE) is used. To further improve the product proper...
متن کاملDegradation of specific aromatic compounds migrating from PEX pipes into drinking water.
Nine specific compounds identified to migrate from polyethylene (PE) and cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) to drinking water were investigated for their degradation in drinking water. Three sample types were studied: field samples (collected at consumer taps), PEX pipe water extractions, and water samples spiked with target compounds. Four compounds were quantified in field samples at concentrati...
متن کاملRelease of drinking water contaminants and odor impacts caused by green building cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) plumbing systems.
Green buildings are increasingly being plumbed with crosslinked polyethylene (PEX) potable water pipe. Tap water quality was investigated at a six month old plumbing system and chemical and odor quality impacts of six PEX pipe brands were examined. Eleven PEX related contaminants were found in the plumbing system; one regulated (toluene) and several unregulated: Antioxidant degradation products...
متن کاملDisinfectants and Plumbing Materials: Effects on Sensory and Chemical Characteristics of Drinking Water
The distribution system is the primary cause of taste and odor complaints in drinking water. This research examined the ability of small diameter pipes used in home plumbing to affect drinking water quality. The properties of the materials were investigated in the absence of disinfectant and the presence of either chlorine or chloramines. A panel was trained in flavor profile analysis (FPA) acc...
