Random polypropylene copolymer pipes, known as PPRC or PP-R (random polypropylene) pipes, offer enormous advantages for their different uses, however, these polymers have evolved to even more complete variations such as PPR-CT(Polypropylene – Random-Crystalline structure Temperature resistance).
It is a material with a great capacity to meet the design requirements that each case needs. Different diameters, thicknesses, strengths, incorporation of auxiliary elements, complementary parts, or adaptation of ends to any type of bonding system, are characteristics that make PPRC a product to always be present in the design and construction of the pipes.
The application of which has helped to definitively solve the past problems of mechanical behaviour, wateriness and durability in the manufacturing phase.
However, poor assembly can ruin any work even if it has been executed with the best of products. Below are some of the reasons to choose PPRC pipe:
- Antimicrobial Protection:
Polypropylene copolymer pipes used for the distribution of drinking water should not contaminate or worsen the quality of water transported with germs or substances that may present a potential danger to consumer health. This growing concern about water quality in distribution systems has introduced an improvement in the system by incorporating a novel antimicrobial additive that acts effectively against the proliferation of bacteria and fungi inside the pipe walls. PPRC pipe plumbing fittings Karachi does not produce any nutrient input or inlay formation where bacteria can reside and multiply, helping to maintain water quality.
- Anti-dilation Micro-fibres:
Pipeline systems in plastic materials have a high degree of expansion due to fluid temperature changes. The incorporation of microfibers reduces the dilation coefficient by 75%, with its dilation coefficient being 0.04 mm/moC. The arrangement of microfibers in mesh and the incorporation of a compatibility additive improve the mechanical strength of the system.
- Anti-incrustation protection:
The roughness of the pipes and the quality of the fluid are elements that favor the inlays. Increased scales lead to reduced section, increased load loss, and increased energy consumption. PPRC pipes are completely smooth not producing section reductions over time, a feature that ensures the invariability of their roughness coefficient.
- Resistance to physical deterioration
Abrasion is a physical phenomenon that occurs in all types of pipes. Every sanitation system requires cleaning processes with pressure water to remove deposits. PPRC pipes are much less affected by abrasion and are not damaged by cleaning processes.
- Security
A sanitation system must be watery. PPRC pipes are designed with joints that ensure sealing by elastic joints. - Economic
For the cost of the elements, the plumbing fittings Karachi installation and the service life of the copolymer tube, it is without a doubt the best alternative. Not related to the petrochemical industry, the cost of PPRC pipe is lower and remains stable.
- Ecological
The copolymer tube is, since its manufacture, a product that protects ecology. It does not emit toxic waste in its manufacture or during operation, in addition to being biodegradable. Others, on the other hand, come from the polluting oil industry, emit toxic waste in their manufacture, are not biodegradable and are highly polluting when burned.
Market-standard polypropylene deteriorates if they remain outdoors for a long time, mainly due to the ultraviolet component of sunlight and do not have protection against these radiations, so they are not indicated for outdoor installation without protection.
PPRC pipes from Master Pipe have additive with antioxidants that minimize the degradation caused by sun exposure, being fully suitable for outdoor installation.
