That is a good question. I have never heard of any synthetic substance that did not get harder the colder it got.
Latex, Vinyl, polyester, nylon, PVC, Flourunated plastics as in fuel lines etc. They all get hard in cold temps.
I always thought an inflatable survival tent that could be deployed quickly would be great in the Arctic
but when I researched it there were no materials to make them with that could function in way below zero
temps.
I dont know anything about PEX but if the only problem is UV and not cold temps, then covering or burying
would be easy..

We had a place that had PVC outside and during the last major freeze, broke. I replaced it with PEX. Now I find out that due to UV light deteriorization, PEX cannot be used outside. I thought of using the foam insulation but that, too has UV deteriorization problems.
Is there a simple way to solve this situation? I'd rather not rerun the line, if I don't have to.
