    Comparison o cpvc vs other plastic options like PPR, ABS, UPVC, PE
    Dear friends
    I am looking for comparison data to support my argument that CPVC is reliable, better and economical hot and cold water system in comprison to PPR, ABS, UPVC,and pE

    Cn somebody hlp me with these comparisons. Your support and help will be highly appreciated

    Well on economical grounds cpvc might score slighty more than PPR but on technical grounds it's way behind to PPR

    Cpvc is toxic from manufacture to usage to disposal/recycling. Ppr is hygienic and does not lead into leaching.
    Cpvc is stiffer, ppr is flexible and was tested to withstand 70million flexings without failure.
    Ppr jointing is the most reliable of all plumbing system, utilizing the heat-fusion method to create a 100% zero leakage.
    All plumbing systems' weak point is its joints, whether it be screwed, clamped, compression fit, force-fit, and most especially solvent weld. BUT NOT IN THE CASE OF PPR (polypropylene).

    Ppr is the best

    Ppr have perfect joint and good to installation and ppr have more than 50 year long life

    Hello choiski your mail looks very interesting.

    I'd like to know.. Do you have other comparisons between both ppr and Cpvc.
    I am working for a PPR producer in turkey.. and in charge of the brazilian (where unfortunately many distribuitors use CPVC).

    Also for information if you guys are interesing in receiving some sample or catalogues of our our company, just ask (we get really cheap price and good quality)!

    Best regards from Istanbul!

    There are many advantages in using or choosing PPR over cPVC. But I think PPR can unanimously win or even eliminate the competition when we speak of the environmental impact.

    If I could remember, about 6 years ago there was already a move to ban the use of PVC, or cPVC for this matter. And Europe is spearheading the move, they have this "PVC-free Europe".

    Like I mentioned before, PVC harms our environment, our very own planet, the Mother Earth - from production to use, to disposal.

    OK so "the environmental care" of CPVC and conversely the big advantage of PPR.

    I am currently reading a brazilian article comparing the sustainibility in terms of environmnent for CPVC PPR and PEX. If I see relevant information, I will post them here.
    See you and thanks again.

    Hi pierroloti!

    You're welcome. And I'm also looking forward to your additional inputs on PPR, PVC, and other plastics.

    PPR pipes are better than CPVC pipes as explained above but Pe Al Pe pipes are better than both these pipes scores many more advantages than both these products.

    PPR is a better than CPVC but Pe Al Pe pipes are better than both these products on many counts which I have explained in the advantages of Pe Al Pe pipe over CPVC pipes.

    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.

    Pierroloti,

    I'm a brazilian engineer working with plumbing systems design.
    Could you tell me where you found this article comparing the sustainability aspects regarding CPVC, PPR and PEX.
    Thanks in advance.
