The random copolymer , a raw material of polypropylene, is a product that contains 3-7% of ethylene. It is highly resistant to very high temperature and pressure and it can be used in many areas. It is used safely in high temperature and in the areas exposed to the pressure.
Random Copolymer Properties
- It is used safely in pipelines used for drinking water transportation.
- Its strength against chemicals and acids is high.
- Random copolymer (PPRC) is a semi-rigid and transparent product that is easy to shape.
- It is one of three types of PP and is separated from others since it can be used in the sanitary installation, hot water installation and it can be welded using hot-plate welding method.
- It gives a high performance at a very low temperature and at high temperature.
- The inner surface of the pipes that are produced from Polypropylene Random Co-polymer is smooth and algae aren’t formed.
- They are produced according to DIN 8077 DIN 8078, TS 9937 and TS 11755 standards.
Uses of Random Copolymer
PPRC pipes are advantageous compared to other alternatives, because they require less insulation. Under normal conditions, an additional insulation is not required. Random copolymer pipes ensure an excellent flexibility and performance and they are suitable for hot and cold climatic conditions. It fulfills every need of pipe part and pipe in all types of installation. Uses:
- Fresh water installations
- Hot and cold water installations
- Radiator heating systems
- Floor heating systems
- Central heating systems
- Industrial cooling water pipes
- Compressed-air systems
- Fire-extinguishing systems
- It is the ideal material for greenhouse and garden irrigation and pipes that are used in the agriculture. Mounting at a temperature below 0° C requires care since the tendency to brittle increases at low temperatures.
