Niron PP-RCT
Niron PP-RCT represents a groundbreaking advancement in polypropylene technology, distinguished by its highly beta crystalline composition. Comprising a copolymer of propylene and ethylene, with over 90% propylene content, this material falls into the category of random copolymers. Its unique beta crystallization is achieved through a patented process during raw material pelletization, endowing the material with exceptional stability and remarkable resistance to high pressure at elevated temperatures. Augmented by the infusion of antioxidants, Niron PP-RCT demonstrates outstanding resilience against oxidative attacks, positioning itself as a superior class of material compared to standard copolymer PP grades.
The Niron PP-RCT Clima pipe undergoes a sophisticated extrusion process, incorporating a central Powercore™ Layer reinforced with fiberglass. This innovative layer not only imparts dimensional stability in response to temperature variations but also reinforces the pipe, reducing the frequency of required supports. The pipe's exceptional chemical resistance makes it highly resistant to solvents. However, due to this characteristic, traditional solvent cementing is not applicable. Instead, the material lends itself to various heat fusion methods, where heating, pressure application, and subsequent cooling result in the recrystallization of molecules, forming a homogeneous material. Remarkably, the strength of the heat fusion welds surpasses that of the connected pipe and fittings, a departure from the common vulnerability of joints in conventional piping materials.
In summary, Niron PP-RCT emerges as a revolutionary polypropylene solution, characterized by its beta crystalline structure, resistance to oxidative attacks, and innovative multilayer technology with the Powercore™ Layer. This advanced material not only addresses the challenges posed by temperature fluctuations but also stands out in its resistance to chemical exposure, offering a robust alternative to traditional piping systems where joints often represent a weak link.
