PPR & PP-RCT pipes and fittings are designed for indoor use. They are not stabilized for direct Ultraviolet (UV) exposure. Over Time, UV exposure causes degradation, resulting in decreases in the pipe’s physical and chemical properties and long-term performance. If the pipes are to be used outdoors, they should be buried or encased in a protective wrap coating or treated described below.

At temperatures below0ºC, PPR becomesf ragile because it is a crystalline material.Therefore it is important to avoid any type of impact, especially during transport and handling. However, when installed, its plasticity is capable of absorbing changes in volume due to freezing of liquids flowing inside.

PPR must not be exposed to solar radiation. Even though stabilised against this radiation, continuous exposure causes degradation of the material, accelerating its ageing.

The pipe systems will show high durability, no corrosion, good weld ability, homogeneous joints, low tendency to incrustations and fast and easy installation.
