General
Raw Material
Vesbo PP-R pipes and fittings are manufactured from high quality, Polypropylene Random Co-polymer resins or PP Type 3 raw material.
Its physical chemical properties
make Vesbo a versatile piping system in a wide range of applications in different
industries.
Its advantages over other PP types 1
or 2 and other thermoplastic pipes in the potable water industries are its high impact
strength and resistance to high temperatures.
