PP-RCT recognised as a category under new DIN standards for water pressure pipes
(02/04/2007)

According to EN ISO 1043 designations, PP-RCT is a PP random copolymer with special crystalline structure. This structure gives improved pressure resistance particularly at elevated temperatures, offering more than a 50% improvement in long-term strength at 70°C over 50 years compared to standard PP-R materials. As a result, pipes based on this material can be produced with thinner walls thus with a larger internal pipe diameter, delivering a range of benefits to the plumbing industry and homeowners. The German standards for polypropylene (PP) pressure pipes have been revised in 2006. The designations PP-H100, PP-B80 and PP-R80 have been withdrawn as they did not reflect the required behaviour at elevated temperatures and were changed to PP-H, PP-B and PP-R. Also, PP-RCT has now been of... [read full article]
