Additives and Colorants
for PP-R and PP-RCT Pipe Systems
Polypropylene-random grades (PP-R and PP-
RCT) are increasingly used for hot and cold water
supply pipe systems in civil and public buildings.
ANTIOXIDANTS FOR METAL/PP-R AND
PP-RCT SYSTEMS
Plastic systems in contact with metal inserts
can also be subject to oxidization.
Avient offers
antioxidants that act as metal deactivator for
PP-R and PP-RCT components fitted with metal
inserts.
