AQUATHERM DESIGN & PLANNING GUIDE
We are pleased to present the 2025 Design & Planning Guide, with many updates, including aquatherm blue® MF RP (PP-RCT). Read More
PLANNING GUIDE AND PARTS GUIDE
We’re excited to announce the release of the new Aquatherm Design & Planning Guide and its companion piece, the Aquatherm Parts Guide. Formally referred to as our Product Catalog, these Guides deliver updated information on planning and designing piping systems using North America’s preeminent polypropylene piping system. Read More
Quality Control Process
October 10th, 2018
From raw PP-R granules to fully installed systems, we are obsessed with quality. This is great for our customers, because aquatherm makes pipes and fittings they can rely on every time. We test every shipment of raw PP-R that we receive for chemical purity and consistency. From there, we mix the PP-R into our proprietary resin Fusiolen, Read More
Polypropylene Lifespan
October 10th, 2018
With the right material and solid connections, our systems are made to perform well even decades after installation. There’s a reason they tell you not to throw away plastic. PP-R and PP-RCT lasts for decades in piping applications, and keeps going long after other building components have worn out and started to fail. It’s important to Read More
PP-R & PP-RCT Pipe Reliability
October 10th, 2018
Our systems are designed to work well in a variety of applications without failure. Polypropylene is one of the most reliable piping materials in the world, and our decades of research and engineering have made it even more reliable. With aquatherm, you’ve got an piping system that you expect to last for over 60 years Read More
INSULATION VALUE
October 10th, 2018
Polypropylene’s natural insulation properties provide benefits for efficiency and comfort. Polypropylene has natural insulation properties, both for sound and for heat. This gives aquatherm’s pipes performance properties that aren’t possible with other systems. For sound, polypropylene absorbs vibrations, allowing the pipe to run at 8 ft/s while generating the same noise as copper pipe at 3.5 Read More
Installation Advantages
October 10th, 2018
With lighter weights and faster, easier connections, our systems make pipe installations as simple as possible. One of the biggest cost savers that comes from using aquatherm in the installation speed. The heat-fused connections are not only fast, they’re also flexible and strong — the joints won’t crack or leak as they’re carried, bounced, and twisted into place. Read More
Chemical Purity
October 10th, 2018
Polypropylene is durable and chemically inert, which help our systems perform better and last longer than other materials. Polypropylene was originally used for high-purity water and acid-waste systems because of its chemical purity and inertness. In other words, its used for highly reactive applications because it won’t react with most chemicals. aquatherm has taken that advantage Read More
FUSIOLEN PP-R AND PP-RCT
October 10th, 2018
aquatherm uses the highest-quality PP-R and PP-RCT granules to make our proprietary resin, Fusiolen. Fusiolen is respected worldwide for its consistency, chemical purity, and low environmental impact. Fusiolen was developed in 1979 and became the primary component of aquatherm’s Fusiotherm line, which would later become aquatherm green. Fusiolen contains 97% pure polypropylene-random, with less than three percent Read More
Multi-Layer Faser-Composite
October 10th, 2018
One of the major hurdles with using any type of plastic material, including PP-R, is the tendency to expand when exposed to heat. That’s why we developed our faser-composite technology. Our pipes are extruded with a middle layer that reduces expansion by 75% by blending glass fibers with the PP-R, which reinforces the pipe and restricts Read More
