PP-R and PP-RCT is resistant to many chemical substances and therefore sustainable for special applications, including hydrolysis (below is the table of polypropylene random resistivity only). Although PP-R and PP-RCT material resistance includes wide variety of chemicals, it is very important to select appropriate “transition” fittings (fittings with metal inserts). When designing the system with special requirements, please consult with the PESTAN technical support staff.
