PP-R for pipes

Since 1998, Hyosung Chemical has been supplying PP Random Copolymer (PP-R) for pipes, the first of its kind in Asia, under the brand name "R200P” to respected manufacturers in South Korea and abroad.

Replacement
for traditional metal pipes

Metal, traditional materials for 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, China, and other countries.
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 Türkiye, 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. Hyosung Chemical can also offers the GF-PPR with high rigidity and low coefficient of linear thermal expansion for anti-bending function, and the pre-colored PP-R with uniform color with minimized performance degradation.

Applications

Hot and cold water supplying pipes

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

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.

Replacement of PVC, widely used plastic material for sewage and 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.
Various products include general PP-B and high modulus 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 modulus HPPB with further improved rigidity, in addition to general PP-B.
