Materials: PVC is made of polyvinyl chloride, and PPR is made of random copolymer polypropylene.
Color: PPR pipe toughness is better than PVC, and good quality and bright color, others have a light milky yellow, and poor-quality color and chaos. The PVC pipe produced by the plastic extrusion line is milky white, the material is harder than PPR, and the cross-section is not shiny, but its outer surface is shiny.
Wall Thickness: The diameters of PPR and PVC pipes are the same. The biggest difference is in the wall thickness, PPR pipe thickness, and PVC pipe wall thickness. Both PPR pipe and PVC pipe have the words on them. You can understand at a glance, and the toughness of the PPR pipe is good. Under the same pipe diameter, the wall of the PPR pipe is usually thick.
Price: The price tag is different, the general price of PVC is lower than PPR, low price is the advantage of PVC material.
Acidity: In addition, PPR pipes are safe and non-toxic. It is used in hot and cold-water pipes as well as in drinking water systems. The adhesive used to join bends, Tees, and pipes in the PVC is highly scented and likely to be acidic to some homeowners.
