Polypropylene (PP) is characterized by high mechanical strength, excellent chemical resistance and – in comparison to polyethylene (PE) – superior heat resistance. This makes it the perfect material for piping systems that are subject to high pressure and temperature stress. A leader in this sophisticated market is aquatechnik group s.p.a. The Italian company started off as a distributor for the products of a company from Germany and is now a major manufacturer of quality pipes and fittings with its own research and development and customers across Europe as well as in China, North America and the Middle East.
