PPR is again a lot better than PE-Al-PE.
PPR is ppr all through out, it's homogeneous. That's why when you talk of maximum operating temperature no doubt it's PPR. Whereas with PE-Al-PE, the aluminum is only there for stiffness which PE doesn't have.
Aluminum is only in-between the PE that's why it is called PE-Al-PE, and what touches the hot water?It's PE.

Again, PPR has both higher heat resistance and stiffness compared to PE.
