CPVC Vs PPR

Why CPVC is more preferable than PPR . StarmaX gives you the right answer to your question whether you should choose CPVC or PPR pipes and fittings.

CPVC fittings outshine ordinary PPR fittings in various aspects, making them a superior choice for plumbing applications.

• Temperature/fire outbreak: One of the key advantages lies in the superior temperature resistance of CPVC fittings. Unlike ordinary PPR fittings, CPVC fittings excel in both hot and cold water systems, ensuring reliable performance across a wide range of temperatures. In contrast, ordinary PPR fittings present drawbacks such as limited temperature resistance, which may compromise their performance in extreme conditions. Even in case of Fire outbreaks, CPVC has lowest possible combustion rating means it does not support  combustion. To burst by fire, the temperature needs to reach above 500 degree C, while PPR is 300% more combustion than CPVC, and will get damaged in fire outbreak.
• Tensil strength: CPVC has 50-60% more tensile strength as compared to PPR and CPVC has 100% more i.e. twice the flexural strength as compared to PPR. CPVC is more durable and stronger than PPR.
• Durability: Durability is another standout feature. CPVC fittings are known for their robust construction, providing long-lasting and corrosion-resistant solutions. This durability ensures a dependable plumbing system that requires minimal maintenance over time, reducing the risk of leaks and repairs associated with ordinary PPR fittings.  PPR fittings may be more prone to wear and tear over time, potentially leading to leaks and requiring more frequent maintenance
• Ease of installation and eco friendly: is a significant factor in favor of CPVC fittings. Their lightweight design and user-friendly and very economic installation process just with the application of solvent cements make them more convenient for plumbers and DIY enthusiasts alike. This not only saves time during installation but also contributes to overall cost-effectiveness. While PPR requires costly installation process which needs special equipment and skilled labour. Ordinary plumbers are not generally efficient to install PPR.
• Chemical resistance: CPVC fittings exhibit excellent chemical resistance, safeguarding water quality and preventing degradation over time. This is particularly important in diverse plumbing environments where water composition may vary. CPVC products are subjected to Chlorination process, which results in water remains unaffected by hypochlorous chemical which is present in the normal water supply. While PPR does not have the same Chlorination process, when PPR comes in contact with hypochlorous acid, the oxidation stress damaging inside the pipes and fittings and makes it weaker and weaker.  
• Safe water supply: Despite the normal water supply is not free from bacteria growth whether it is drinking water, hot water or normal water and various bacterias potentially grow on the inside of pipe walls. When using CPVC piping systems, the smoothness of the pipe surface and lack of plasticizers discourages microbial growth.

Multiple international studies have confirmed the superior antimicrobial performance of CPVC piping systems compared to other piping materials, especially PPR.
