Why use Blue Pipe PP-R for compressed air systems instead of metal pipes?

Blue Pipe PP-R provides 100% corrosion resistance, eliminating rust flakes that damage pneumatic tools. It also features heat-fused homogeneous joints that eliminate air leakage and reduce energy costs.

What is the maximum operating pressure of PP-R Blue Pipe?

PP-R Blue Pipe is rated for continuous pneumatic operating pressures of 16 Bar (PN16) and 25 Bar (PN25) at standard operating temperatures up to 70°C.

Plastics vs Metal Piping Systems

Metal Piping

Weight: Heavy density requiring heavy structural supports.
Thermal Conductivity: High heat loss resulting in higher energy consumption.
Corrosion: Prone to rust, scaling, and mineral deposit buildup.
Joint Integrity: Threaded joints subject to vibration looseness and leaks.

PP-R Plastic Piping

Weight: 90% lighter than metal pipes for fast, lightweight handling.
Insulation: Excellent thermal insulation preventing condensation and heat loss.
Longevity: 100% immune to corrosion, pitting, and scaling with 50+ year service life.
Homogeneous Joint: Molecular socket fusion eliminates mechanical leaks permanently.

Carbon Footprint: Plastic vs Metal

PP-R thermoplastic manufacturing requires significantly lower energy consumption compared to copper or stainless steel smelting. Reduced shipping weight further lowers transport carbon emissions across the supply chain.
