MANILA, Philippines — In recent years, PPR and PVC pipes have become widely used in the industry, but what is the difference between the two? The first major difference is that PPR pipes are thicker than PVC ones. The sizes are determined by categorizing them according to their outer diameters.
While PVC pipes are tough with good ductility, PPR pipes are better for water supply piping, are high-strength and have excellent processing performance, good creep resistance at higher temperatures and the unique advantage of high transparency of random copolymer polypropylene.
