What is a PPR tube?

Polypropylene pipe, also known as three-type polypropylene pipe, is a new type of plastic pipe product developed and applied in Europe in the early 1990s. In the late 1980s, PPR adopted the gas phase copolymerization process, which made about 5% of PE polymerize randomly and uniformly in the polypropylene molecular chain (random copolymerization), becoming a new generation of pipe materials.

PPR tube features

PPR water pipe is a substitute for galvanized pipe, UPVC water supply pipe, aluminum plastic pipe, PE pipe, PE-X pipe, and PE-RT pipe. It has good impact resistance and long-term creep properties.

At the same time, it has the advantages of environmental protection, lightweight, high strength, corrosion resistance, smooth and free inner wall, simple installation, long service life, and recyclable materials. There are two main colors of PPR pipes on the market, green and white.

The main purpose of the PPR tube

1. Building cold and hot water systems, including central heating systems;
2. Heating systems in buildings, including floors, siding, and radiant heating systems;
3. Pure water supply system, which can be directly consumed;
4. Central (central) air conditioner;
5. Industrial piping systems, such as transporting or discharging chemical media.

Authentic identification method

1. Uniform texture, delicate texture, and beautiful color
2. The end face is smooth and round without burrs, and the inner and outer walls are smooth without obvious impurities.
3. Dimensions meet standard requirements, such as outer diameter and wall thickness.
4. No obvious odor, especially pungent odor.
5. Tubes that are hard, elastic, and can’t be broken are fake.
6. No irritating smell and black smoke when burning.
