The NIRON PPR system has been installed for the plumbing hot and cold water system for the new unit of the Brugmann University Hospital in Brussels. NIRON is a complete polypropylene pipe and fitting system for the distribution of hot and cold water in plumbing and air conditioning systems, for the conveyance of drinking water and alimentary fluids, industrial plants and for the transport of compressed air and chemical substances.The pipes and fittings that compose the NIRON range are manufactured using random copolymer polypropylene (PPR and PP-RCT), a plastic material with a special molecular structure ensuring high mechanical resistance and duration, even at high temperatures and pressures. The properties and other features of the various components make the NIRON system a valid alternative to traditional material used in plumbing installations.
