One: thermal insulation performance
PPR pipe has a thermal conductivity of approximately 0.21 W/mK, making it more thermally insulating compared to PE pipe and traditional steel pipe. Because of this, when it comes to setting up the plumbing system for hot and cold water in households, PPR pipes are generally preferred.
Two: heat resistance
The ppr material used for hot water transportation has a Vicat softening point of 131 degrees and can withstand a maximum working temperature of 90 degrees. This makes it ideal for use in households as it can effectively convey hot water. Additionally, the ppr pipe thickness of more than 4.1 mm provides the necessary strength and rigidity to prevent deformation during transportation. Therefore, one can be assured that the hot water supply shall remain uninterrupted.
Three: Security
The main constituents of ppr pipes are various hydrogen elements, oxygen elements, and trace carbon elements. These raw material molecules do not contain any harmful metal elements that could pose a threat to human health. Therefore, ppr pipes are considered to be both hygienic and reliable. In fact, if the production process involves normal PP particle production, these pipes can be safely utilized for the transportation of pure drinking water.
Four: Recyclable
Although PPR material can be recycled, the recycling utilization rate is relatively low, at only about 25%. After being recycled, it still needs to be decomposed again, and only a portion of it can be reused. This means that while PPR material is technically recyclable, it may not be the most efficient or sustainable choice for environmentally-conscious consumers.
Five: easy installation
The connection performance of the ppr pipe is commendable, as it only requires a hot melt machine for installation. This not only ensures a better connection effect but also offers convenience during installation. In fact, the strength of the connection after hot melt is even greater than that of the pipe itself.
Six: service life
The expected service time for the ppr tube is between 30 and 50 years, making it suitable for environments with temperatures below 70 degrees.
