Why Metal And Iron Pipes Fail When Compared With Plastic Pipes Beginning late all through the world, the significance of plastics pipes in the plan of piping frameworks for open and mechanical water supply and sewage transport has logically extended. This pattern mirrors a developing trust in plastics as a piping material. The plastics are for the most part fabricated on petrochemical bases with oil as the crude material. The utilization of plastics is growing quickly, and particularly on account of plastic pipes. This is especially valid for pipes intended for water funnels and sewers outside and inside. Every single industrial nation demonstrates a similar inclination. With advancement in technology there are various types of plastic pipes available today such as PPR pipe fittings, PVC pipes, PEX pipes, CPVC pipes and various other varieties. History of Plastic Piping System There was a time when metal, ceramic and concrete were the only materials used for residential plumbing pipes and tubing. But with the introduction of plastic plumbing pipe system in 1930, and their popularity in the 1950s and 1960s the usage of metal and ceramic pipes decreased. These pipes gave plumbers a choice that is both simpler to introduce and that keeps a portion of the pipes issues normal with metal pipes. How Plastic Pipes Outperformed Metal Pipes Plastic Pipe plumbing systems doesn’t effectively get consumed by presentation to water and are regular family unit chemicals. Plastic recipes can be acclimated to enable them to confront the requests of different private pipes needs, including water supply and waste.


These pipes have low heat conductivity; unlike other metal pipes these plastic pipes don’t conduct heat well. Thus are able to maintain the temperature of the water it carries. These pipes are non-reactive — interfacing different metals, for example, copper and iron, can cause consumption. Plastic channels can be associated with each other or with metal funnels without the danger of harming compound responses. Plastic pipes are easy to install as they are light and easy to handle, plumbing employments finished with these pipes about dependably cost not as much as those that include metal pipes. Using these pipes led to fewer blockages compared to metal ones. Plastic drainpipes are less likely to clog than metal ones and are easier to unclog when they do. Plastic pipes are found under the broader category of industrial pipes. These piping systems are also responsible for protecting products from contaminants found in air and the environment. Plastics used for pipes today are    

Polypropylene Random (PPR) pipes Cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) Chlorinated polyvinyl chlorine (CPVC)

Polypropylene Random Copolymer (PPR) pipes: PPR pipes are Pipes that are made of Polypropylene Random Copolymer. These PPR pipe fittings are designed for the distribution of hot and cold water supply systems reasonable for all consumable water applications and warming systems. These pipes are made from Beta PPR, the most advanced PPR available today. This rigorous long lasting leak free system is joint by fusion


welding, ensuring a homogeneous plastic system similar to PE pipe systems.

Fields of Application

PPR pipes are designed for applications such as         

Hydraulic works in residential, industrial and public projects Compressed air systems (air-conditioning) Drinking water and food liquids Industry chemicals transportation Aggressive fluids transportation Agricultural and horticultural usage of pipe Rainwater utilization systems networks Swimming pool pipe networks HVAC and Compressed air installations

Product Range


Interplast PPR piping system offers a complete range of pipes and fittings in the dimensions 20mm to 110mm. PPR pipes offer special fittings like combined pipe fittings for flanged joints. Features and Benefits of PPR pipes  These unique multiple layer design pipes are cost-effective and environmentally freely.  These pipes can be used as hot water pipes as well as cold water pipes.  PPR pipe interface with hot-melt technology, fully integrated between the tubes together.  PPR pipes are designed as the most hygienic system for the transportation of potable water.  PPR pipe has a long life time more than 50 years even exposed and high temperature and stress weight satiation.  PPR pipe gives simple establishment when contrasted with all other piping systems.  PPR pipe is non-destructive and has non-contracting distance across with respect to the conventional systems.  PPR Plumbing System has same joints.  Low warm conductivity of vectus frameworks offers imperativeness  PPR Pipe are Flexible and serious for use in high seismic zones.

These Polypropylene Random Copolymer are the new type of piping material which has several advantages such as they  Are Environment-Friendly  Are Hygienic and non-toxic  Really have long life time


 Are resistance to stray electric currents  Have easy workability  Have Low thermal conductivity Cross-linked Polyethylene (PEX): These are also other types of plastics which are commonly installed in place of copper pipes or are chosen as an alternative to other types of plastic. Just like PPR pipes, these too are installed to deliver cold and hot water. Advantages     

These pipes provide mechanical protection They can withstand extreme pressure They can resist underground damage These pipes provide good weather resistant Provide thermal and moisture resistance

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC): Another material popular for the modern plumbing system pipes are PVC. These pipes offer reliable and durable service to a variety of users like contractors, engineers, operators, and various industries. Advantages  They are light in weight compared to other piping materials.  These pipes are resistance to fracture. They have the ability to yield under loading without fracturing.  They have good watertight joints. These pipes are available with deep insertion and solvent joint materials.  These pipes have good flame resistance. They are difficult to ignite.  These pipes are non-toxic and safe material.


Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chlorine (CPVC): CVPC is PVC that has been treated with chlorine. These pipes are more flexible and can stand up to higher pressures and temperatures. Advantages  These pipes are corrosion free and convenient to use  These pipes are heat resistant hence can be used for supplying hot water  They are cheaper and easier to repair  Water flow is rarely blocked  They can easily last for many years
