Lombardy Pipes produces the most extensive range of PP-R pipes using the finest grade of polypropylene random copolymers. These pipes are used for hot water and cold water supply and industrial pipelines. Random copolymer (type3) is a modification of polypropylene, which delivers better characteristics and offers continuous firmness to high temperature and pressure. The reason for PP-R pipes success primarily is in material properties. Polypropylene is entirely non-toxic; in case of contact with fire, only carbonic acid and water will escape. The material is also not sensitive to high temperature and pressure. Polypropylene pipes, in comparison with steel pipes, have much plainer inner surface and possesses minor thermal conduction. As a result, PP-R pipes exhibit lesser pressure and heat loss.
PPR pipes offer a range of benefits over the conventional pipes like the pipes made of steel, cast-iron or cement. Plastic pipes have a very smooth inner wall, and hence offer little resistance to the flow of the fluid or water. Plastic pipes also have a lesser thickness and provide for greater flow volume of fluid, in comparison to the cement pipes.
In comparison to traditional piping systems, PP-R pipes are remarkably quick and easy to install.
The high resistivity to electrolysis of the piping system guarantees a very low electrical conductivity. There is no risk of PP-R pipe or fittings piercing due to stray currents.
The inner surface of pipes and fittings have a limited frictional resistance. In comparison to traditional pipe systems, this enables a significant reduction in distribution pressure losses.
Calcium Carbonate scaling at high temperatures reduces water flow. PP-R pipes made by Lombardy face no scaling problems.
The thermal conductivity of PP-R is very low, thus making it possible to reduce heat losses in hot water supply and traditional heating systems.
Lombardy's PP-R piping systems are designed to offer over 50 years of trouble-free operability.
Lombardy PP-R piping systems are particularly suitable for hot and cold water installation: residential building, offices, hotels, industrial, and commercial projects. Lombardy PP-R pipes are used with confidence in the following applications:
The environmentally friendly material polypropylene PP-R is recyclable and can be ground, melted and reutilized for various applications. PP-R pipes do not corrode, are non-toxic and is more environmentally friendly than any other piping product in the world. Besides, the pipes contain no VOCs, BPAs, Dioxins, PVC or heavy metals adding to its Eco-Friendly nature.
Lombardy PP-R pipes are manufactured locally in Nigeria, and this enables us to increase speed in delivery and to monitor production quality that meets industry standards. Our range of PPR products is made from high-grade raw materials second to none, in conjunction with state of the art technology and machinery which handles the extrusion and injection molding processes. We offer a range of PPR products from 20 mm to 50 mm in lengths of 4 meters. Download our spec sheet below to see our product range.
