• Antimicrobial & Antibacterial
• Monolithic joinery providing 100% leak proofness
• Wide working temperature range (-2^o to 95^o C)
• Approved by CBRI, Housing Board, MES

Random Co-polymer has very high viscosity giving lower MFI resulting in extreme temperature resistance and high pressure and high impact resistance. Raw material for PPR-C Pipes and Fittings is now indigenously manufactured by M/s. Reliance Industries Limited of Grade AER3003N

Features of PPRC Raw Material AER3003N

• Thermal conductivity 0.24W/mK
• Soft vicat point 132'C
• Modulus of elasticity 800N/mm2
• Higher chain density
• Low melt flow index
• High molecular weight
• Higher resistance to impact and heat

What are the advantages of PPRC Piping System to End user?

• Resistance to wide range of chemicals with ph values between 1 and 14
• Inner anti-bacterial layer makes it ideal piping for food and pharmaceutical industry
• Against water-service life of 50 years at 70^oC at 10 bar pressure (DIN 2000)
• Bursting pressure of PN 20 pipes is 106 bars at ambient temperature making it ideal for pneumatic applications
• Minimal heat losses due to low thermal conductivity 
• Lowest frictional resistance minimizing pressure losses due to smooth inner surface
• Being UV stablised makes it ideal for exposed sunlight applications in industry
• Complete range of pipes and fittings available from 20mm to 160mm in 10-16-20 bars pressure ratings.

Application Areas of PPRC in industries

• Hot and Cold water supplies
• DM Water and effluent treatment plants
• Water purifying/RO plant
• Chilled water circuit for refrigeration units
• Pneumatic applications
• Conveying liquid food products
• Aggressive fluids like acid and alkaline solutions
• Radiator heating pipes

Unique Joinery Feature

There is one unique benefit PPR-C piping system has across all other piping system and that is Fusion Jointing Process.

The fusion process makes the joint absolutely monolithic fusing both the fitting and pipe completely. Fusion takes place at very high temperature of 260^oC where material starts flowing resulting in strong air tight, contamination free leak-proof joint.
