PPR (polypropylene random copolymer) pipes are widely used for plumbing and water supply systems because of their unique properties such as high temperature resistance, low thermal conductivity, and excellent chemical resistance.

PPR Pipe Safety for Drinking Water

  • Non-toxic and hygienic.

Toxic chemicals that come from our water supply is a threat to our health, but pipes and fittings made from PPR are harmless raw materials. The raw material molecules of PP-R are only carbon and hydrogen, and there are no harmful and toxic elements. It is hygienic and reliable. It is not only used for hot and cold water pipes, but also for pure drinking water systems.

  • Strong durability.

PPR pipe has good heat resistance, pressure resistance and corrosion resistance, can run stably for a long time, and is not easily affected by the external environment.

  • Easy maintenance.

 PPR pipe has a smooth inner surface that will not generate scale and dirt, so it is easy to clean and low maintenance cost. At the same time, the connection method of the PPR pipe is simple and can be installed quickly, saving time and labor costs

However, it’s important to note that not all PPR pipes are created equal. Some low-quality PPR pipes may contain impurities or additives that can leach into the water over time. Therefore, it’s important to choose a high-quality PPR pipe from a reputable manufacturer and ensure that it meets all relevant safety standards before using it in your drinking water system. Additionally, regular maintenance and cleaning of your plumbing system can help prevent any potential contamination issues.
