MANILA, Philippines — In recent years, PPR and PVC pipes have become widely used in the industry, but what is the difference between the two? The first major difference is that PPR pipes are thicker than PVC ones. The sizes are determined by categorizing them according to their outer diameters.
While PVC pipes are tough with good ductility, PPR pipes are better for water supply piping, are high-strength and have excellent processing performance, good creep resistance at higher temperatures and the unique advantage of high transparency of random copolymer polypropylene.
The interface of the PPR pipe adopts "hot-melt" technology and is completely fused together. So once installation and pressure test are done, there will no longer be aging and leakage, unlike plastic pipes.
Now the ultimate question is: Should you use PVC or PPR pipes?
Between the two, it is recommended you use PPR pipes, because they are better in terms of various properties as well as home needs, including hot water.
More than this, PPR pipes also have good corrosion resistance, sanitation and non-toxicity, small expansion force and firm connection, which is more suitable for home improvement and water supply.
