The difference between PVC pipe and PPR pipe

In modern construction and home decoration, plastic pipes have been widely used because of their advantages such as lightness, corrosion resistance, and convenient installation. Among them, PVC pipes and PPR pipes are two very common pipes, and many people are often confused when choosing. Today, we will learn more about the difference between PVC pipes and PPR pipes to help you make a more suitable choice in practical applications. As a well-known brand in the industry, AD pipes have deep technical accumulation and strict quality control in the production of PVC pipes and PPR pipes. Its products are widely used in various fields.

First of all, from the perspective of material and characteristics, the main component of PVC pipes is polyvinyl chloride. It has good hardness and rigidity, strong impact resistance, and excellent chemical corrosion resistance. It has good resistance to most acids, alkalis, salts and other chemical substances. The heat resistance temperature of PVC pipe is relatively low, and it is generally suitable for conveying fluids with low temperature. And PPR pipe, that is, random copolymer polypropylene pipe, its material determines that it has good heat resistance and thermal insulation performance, and can withstand high water temperature, which makes it excellent in hot water transportation. PPR pipe also has the characteristics of hygiene and non-toxicity, smooth inner wall, not easy to scale, and small water flow resistance. PVC pipe and PPR pipe produced by AD Pipe strive for excellence in the purity of the material and the control of the process, ensuring the basic performance of the product.

Secondly, there are obvious differences in the application fields of the two. PVC pipes vary according to their specific types (such as UPVC, CPVC, etc.). Common UPVC pipes are often used in building drainage, rainwater drainage, power wiring, and some industrial wastewater transportation because of their relatively low price and high strength. PPR pipes, on the other hand, have become the first choice for hot and cold water supply systems in home improvement and engineering due to their hygiene and heat resistance. They are also suitable for pure water and drinking water pipeline systems. When choosing, it is key to clarify the use scenario. If it is a water supply pipe in home decoration, PPR pipes will be a better choice considering water quality and temperature; if it is a drainage system, PVC pipes are more common and economical. AD Pipe provides a variety of specifications and models of PVC and PPR pipes for different application scenarios to meet various engineering needs.

Furthermore, the connection method is also an important difference between the two. The connection of PVC pipes is usually connected by glue bonding or elastic sealing rings. The glue bonding operation is relatively simple, but there are certain requirements for the construction environment and cleanliness, and it takes a certain amount of time to cure after connection. The elastic sealing ring connection has better sealing and shock resistance. The connection method of PPR pipes is mainly hot melt connection. The pipe and pipe fittings are heated to the molten state by a special hot melt machine and then docked. After cooling, they form a whole. This connection method has excellent sealing performance, is not easy to leak, and the pipeline system is safe. However, the hot melt connection has certain requirements for the technical level of the construction personnel, and it is necessary to master the heating time and docking strength. AD Pipe not only provides high-quality pipes, but also provides users with professional construction guidance and suggestions to ensure the quality of the connection.

Finally, in terms of price and service life, the price of PVC pipes is usually more advantageous than that of PPR pipes, which is one of the reasons why it is widely used in some fields such as drainage that do not require high performance. PPR pipes are relatively expensive due to their material and performance advantages, but they have a long service life and low maintenance costs. They are also very cost-effective from the perspective of long-term use. Whether it is PVC pipe or PPR pipe, choose a well-known brand like AD Pipe. Its products are strictly guaranteed in the selection of raw materials, production process, quality inspection and other links, which can effectively prolong the service life of the pipeline and reduce the trouble of later maintenance.

To sum up, PVC pipe and PPR pipe have significant differences in material characteristics, applicable fields, connection methods and prices. In the actual purchase, it should be based on specific needs, budget and installation conditions and other factors. If you still have questions about how to choose, you may wish to pay attention to AD Pipe. We will provide you with more detailed consultation and high-quality product solutions to make your pipeline system safe and reliable.
