Advantages
Odourless and hygienic
These pipes are most ideal for carrying drinking water as they do not subject to contamination.
Protected against UV rays
The UV protected layer is comprised of UV resistant materials which protect the pipe from flaking when exposed to sunlight over time.
High chemical resistance
Pipes offer excellent resistance to acids, oxidizing agents, alkalis, oils and domestic effluents.
Smooth bore
Pipes have a smooth inside surface and hence better flow characteristics.
Longer lasting
As these pipes are free from weaknesses caused by scale formation, rusting, weathering and chemical action they last for a lifetime.
Installation
The installation methodology and requirement are the same as normal PP-R pipes.
