PP-R for pipes
Since 1998, Hyosung Chemical has been supplying PP Random Copolymer (PP-R) for PP-R pipes, the first of its kind in Asia, under the brand name "R200P” to respected manufacturers in South Korea and abroad.
Traditional replacement
for metal pipes
Traditional materials for metal pipes have been rapidly replaced by plastic over the past 20 years. The primary reasons include affordability, hygiene, long-term durability and environmental friendliness.
Furthermore, improvements in the properties of plastic materials and advances in processing technology have promoted the use of plastics by enhancing the pressure resistance and long-term heat resistance of pipes. Among these, demand for PP-R pipes is increasing not only in Europe, where the PP-R pipe market is first developed, but also in regions like the Middle East and China.
Global No. 1 PP-R
Since 1998, Hyosung Chemical has been producing and supplying R200P for PP-R pipes, the first of its kind in Asia. With continued technological innovation and market development, we have been achieving remarkable sales growth based on the product’s trusted, superlative quality.
Initially, our sales started in the Middle East and Turkey, expanding to China, Southeast Asia and even Europe including Germany, the Czech Republic, and Russia, which are the home of PP-R pipes.
Hyosung Chemical offers various products, not only the R200P, but also the R202P that maintains the same pressure resistance at a thinner thickness, the GF-PPR with high rigidity and thermal expansion coefficient for anti-bending function and the pre-colored PPR with uniform color and no performance degradation.

In particular, hot water pipes, which are used in high-temperature and high-pressure conditions, must be resistant to both pressure and heat.
Underfloor heating
The long-term characteristics of the pipe are particularly crucial for long service life due to its relatively high temperature over an extended period of time.
Piping for radiators
Lasts for 50 years at 60°C at 10bar, and PN25 lasts for more than 50 years at 70°C at 10bar.
Chemical and agricultural piping
The unique chemical resistance and heat resistance of PP make it applicable for agricultural water pipes as well.

PP-B for pipes
Hyosung's HPPB(PP-B) has been developed for sewage and
industrial pipes, which require high rigidity and long-term durability.
Replacing the traditionally used PVC pipes in large diameter sewage and indoor drainage pipes
PVC pipes that have been mainly used for sewage purposes are being replaced by PP pipes, especially in advanced countries, due to the high environmental impact of PVC (emission of plasticizers, dioxin generation during incineration, difficulty in recycling, lead stabilizer usage).
Furthermore, the higher rigidity of PP pipes compared to traditional PE pipes minimizes deformation and cracking during use, ensuring long-term durability.
We have various products ranging from general PP-B to ultra-high rigidity HPPB
Starting in 2001, we began developing high rigidity, high impact HPPB grades for sewage pipes, and started exporting in earnest in 2003 after overseas field evaluations and processing improvements.
Through continuous technological development and production stabilization, we have expanded our sales from Europe and Oceania, where HPPB pipes are widely adopted, to the Middle East, Russia, the Americas, China and Southeast Asia. Moreover, sales of industrial pipes like plastic pipeline are also gradually increasing.
Building on this technological prowess, Hyosung Chemical offers various products, including high-rigidity HPPB with exceptional rigidity and impact resistance, and ultra-high rigidity HPPB with further improved rigidity, in addition to general PP-B.
