THE MAXIMUM EVOLUTION OF POLYPROPYLENE
Polypropylene is a material that fears direct exposure to UV rays, as they cause an oxidized surface layer that could compromise the mechanical performance of the material for long-term exposure. The use of appropriate additives added to the base polymer prevents the onset of degradation phenomena and allows the maintenance of the product’s long-term performance.
All the parts not chemically protected must be physically protected with a special self-amalgamating bitulic white tape.

ADVANTAGES
The advantages of a white anti-UV layer include:
- UV RESISTANCE: thanks to the particular external white PP-RCT which acts as a photoprotector by inhibiting the UV rays’ degradative action on the underlying polymer.
- UV REFLECTION: lower temperature difference thanks to the external white protection, as we assist to a lower absorption of the solar radiation.
- NO CORROSION: NIRON Clima Cool-Pro are resistant to all degrees of water hardness as well as to many chemicals.
- RESISTANCE TO STRAY CURRENTS: polypropylene is a very poor electrical conductor, thereby avoiding the risk of perforation of the pipe or fittings caused by stray currents.
- LOW PRESSURE DROP: NIRON Clima Cool-pro pipes have reduced pressure losses thanks to their smooth surface.
- WELDABILITY: the use of a full polypropylene material allows the pipes to be easily welded by electrofusion welding.
