PP-R is a thermoplastic polyolefin that is easy to process into pipes & fittings with superior chemical and physical properties. They are best carriers of potable water (Both hot and cold) in domestic as well as in industrial application in terms of quality and price. PP-R pipes & fittings are ideal when long term performance is required under adverse conditions without deviations in standards.
Product Overview Material: Polypropylene Random Copolymer Pressure Rating: 13.2 bar at 80˚C (For years of service = 1) Size ranges of PP-R pipes: From 20mm to 160m Size ranges of PP-R fittings: From 20mm to 160m Standard: DIN 8077-2008, DIN 8078-2008,ISO 15874 Colour: Green Connection of PP-R fittings: Socket fusion joint, electro fusion joint or transition joint Advantage Resistance to abrasion and corrosion: No corrosion by acid and alkaline fluids with pH levels between 1 and 14 High chemical resistance Excellent ESCR - Longer life High abrasion resistance => high flow velocities are possible High internal pressure resistance: Minimum 50 Years lifetime at 600 or 700 C and 10 bar maximum pressure No negative influence on water quality Compliance with the international standards on the use of plastic materials for the transportation of drinking water Prevents UV Passage - Prevents growth of bacteria and algae Very smooth surface of pipes and fittings No limestone or other deposits Head loss/pressure drop reduced to a minimum Welding capacity 100% homogeneous connections, guaranteed leak-tight, long lasting system Fast and easy installation
2 Threaded insert fittings Watertight assemblies with other metal elements in the installation Silence sound absorption Considerable noise reduction in comparison to metal Low specific weight Easy transport and handling Lowest density compared to conventional metal pipes Energy saving Low heat conductivity of PP-R leads to 10-20% energy saving Reduced condensation Low heat conductivity reduces the condensation of water on the outer surface of cold water pipes
Applications Hot and cold potable water piping networks in residential and commercial buildings Heating systems Chilled water networks in air-conditioning systems as an effective light-weight and corrosion free substitute for steel pipes Transporting a wide range of chemicals in the industry Piping networks for rainwater utilization systems and swimming pool facilities Compressed air installations and other industrial applications Physical Properties of PP−R material
