Material Properties

Fusiolen PP-R

fusiolenAll Aquatherm Greenpipe® pipes and fittings are made of Fusiolen® PP-R.

The Fusiolen PP-R material is both physically and chemically resilient to the abuse that can damage other materials. It is also a low friction material, protecting it from abrasion and reducing pressure loss.

The superior welding properties of Fusiolen PP-R result in a permanent, leak-proof connection that is chemically indistinguishable from the rest of the pipe. This and countless other innovations have made the aquatherm greenpipe system and the raw material Fusiolen PP-R successful worldwide.

Environmentalism

The environmentally-friendly polypropylene material Fusiolen PP-R is recyclable and can be ground, melted, and reutilized for various applications (e.g. motor protections, wheel linings, laundry baskets and other kinds of transport boxes). There are no harmful waste products created by the processing or disposal of Fusiolen PP-R.

Use of metal deactivators

By using suitable food-safe additives, aquatherm has reduced the risk of material damage caused by metal ions under extreme conditions of application such as high temperature and pressure or aggressive chemical transport.

Higher long-term heat stabilization

The long-term heat stabilization has been increased to resist the harmful effects of peak temperatures and provide higher safety parameters.
