Shopping Points
At present, PPR pipe is the most selected in the market. Because it uses random copolymerization technology, its strength and high-temperature resistance are well guaranteed, so it has become the main force of water pipe materials. When purchasing, pay attention to the following points:
Labeling: Make sure the tube wall is marked with the words “PPR” or “Polypropylene”.
Surface: The surface of the water pipe is smooth, if there is unevenness, it is mixed with impurities.
