Description
Designed for demanding industrial environments, this polypropylene pressure pipe is engineered to safely convey hazardous and corrosive fluids at elevated temperatures. Manufactured from high heat stabilised PP-B, it offers excellent chemical resistance combined with strong impact performance, even down to -20°C.
The smooth internal bore minimises friction losses, supporting high flow rates while reducing energy consumption across long pipe runs. Its inherent ductility allows the pipe to flex under load and return to shape, making it well suited to installations subject to movement, vibration or thermal expansion.
With a wide operating temperature range and proven resistance to acids, alkalis and many aggressive media, this pipe is a reliable alternative to metal systems that may corrode, scale or require regular maintenance. Lightweight handling also helps to reduce installation time and on-site labour costs, particularly on larger diameter systems.
Key Features & Benefits
- High temperature capability: Suitable for continuous operation from -20°C up to 120°C, ideal for hot and chemically aggressive processes
- Excellent chemical resistance: Resists attack from a wide range of acids, alkalis, solvents and industrial fluids
- PP-B construction: Block copolymer polypropylene provides superior impact resistance compared to homopolymer materials, especially at low temperatures
- Smooth bore design: Reduces pressure loss and supports high volume flow rates
- Lightweight material: Easier handling and faster installation compared to metal pipework
- Ductile performance: Deforms under load and recovers once stress is removed, accommodating movement and installation adjustment
- Maintenance free: Will not corrode, rot or degrade when buried or cast into concrete
- Wide industry use: Suitable for chemical processing, water treatment, laboratories, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals and more
- Standards compliant: Manufactured to recognised international dimensional and quality standards for consistent performance
