1. PPR tube is afraid of ultraviolet rays
Users who are familiar with PPR pipes may have more experience. PPR pipes have been placed outdoors for a long time, and as a result, they have not been touched, and they will become brittle after a few years. This is because of the characteristics of polypropylene materials, which are afraid of ultraviolet radiation, so it is not surprising that the aging is accelerated under the sun.
2. PPR tube summer protection
In fact, outdoor PPR pipes only need a little protection to avoid aging problems. The measures that can be taken for PPR pipeline protection are:
(1) Apply special anti-radiation paint on the surface of the pipe to block
(2) A layer of sunscreen foam that is exposed outside is black, which can be bought in places where solar water heaters are generally sold.
(3) It is pasted with lightweight aluminum foil tape, which has good viscosity, strong adhesion and anti-aging.
(4) PP-R pipes are easy to age and degrade when exposed to ultraviolet rays for a long time. When they are installed outdoors or in direct sunlight, they must be wrapped with a dark protective layer.
3. PPR tube concealed installation
In some cases, the PPR pipeline can be buried. The PPR pipe has good corrosion resistance, and it will not be corroded after being buried in the ground. It is one of the best ways to deal with the problem of sun exposure when installing concealed pipes in home decoration.
