PPR (Polypropylene Random Copolymer) piping can be used in many chemical industry applications, but the chemical compatibility must be verified before installation because some chemicals can attack polypropylene.
Typical Chemical Industry Applications
Chemical transfer lines for compatible acids and alkalis
Process water systems
Demineralized (DM) water lines
RO water plants
Effluent treatment plants (ETP)
Dosing chemical pipelines
Compressed air systems (where permitted by design standards)
Advantages of PPR in Chemical Plants
Corrosion-resistant
Smooth internal surface with low pressure loss
Long service life
Leak-free fused joints
Low maintenance
