1. PPR Piping Systems
We are have carefully blended and formulated our own PP-R resins (polypropylene-random) which guarantee that we are only using the highest quality of PP-R granules in our piping systems. A random copolymer grade of PP-R was specially developed for engineering applications with certain stringent requirements.
The random combination of short and long hydrocarbon chains gives rigidity and flexibility resulting higher resistance to external damage for superior physical properties. Compression strength, elasticity, anti-corrosive and heat resistance properties are the factors which make it suitable for potable hot and cold water applications.
RAKtherm PPR systems are extensively used in food and medical industries owing to its harmless and safe properties. Proven to be non-toxic and stable chemically even at elevated temperatures.
RAKtherm PPR piping systems is manufactured in conformance to DIN 8077/8078 German standard.
PPR is the Perfect Solution
In accordance with its areas of application, RAKtherm piping systems is designed for continuous temperatures of 0°C to 90°C, and short-term peak temperatures of up to 100°C with a service life of 50 years. Therefore, RAKtherm is the perfect solution for all types of chilled and heating water networks.
RAKtherm PPR pipes is also very light in weight which is a big advantage for installation and handling and its fusion welding guarantees perfect seal therefore prevents leakage. Chemical components of PPR plastic pipe materials prevent from any bacterial growth which makes RAKtherm highly hygienic and non-toxic.
RAKtherm, a Healthy Choice and Environment Friendly
We believe that health is wealth; we never compromise the safety of our products. At RAKtherm, we produce products that are safe and harmless both for human’s health and environment.
PP-R is a material with excellent chemical resistance which does not react to most chemicals, with non-corrosive properties, proven to be physiologically and microbiologically harmless making it suitable for hot and cold water applications. All materials used in piping systems are 100% recyclable which can be used again in other plastic products, no nickels and chrome which can be found in metal fittings.

WHY RAKTHERM DWV (Drain, Waste, Vent) SYSTEMS?
Because the RNP Technology in RAKtherm’s Multi-Layer Reinforced PVC-U brings technological breakthrough in the piping industry!
RAKtherm is the very first manufacturer to unveil the secret of the new groundbreaking RNP Technology!
DWV Systems (Drain, sewerage, waste, and vent) is the latest development of RAKtherm. A state of the art three-layers-pipe with solid-wall-construction, made from the new generation premium materials which significantly improves its’ durability compared to the conventional pipes.
● RAKtherm’s Groundbreaking RNP Technology
The pipes’ uniform middle-layer-construction is based on special cells to ensure increased in mechanical properties, wherein the inner-layer and outer-layer are combined forming like a ‘sandwich construction’ which results to exceed the requirement for noise reduction, durability, flexibility, and longer-service-life.
● The Rarefied Concept for Noise-Reduction Technology of RAKtherm
RAKtherm launches the newest range of PVC-U piping systems featuring its Noise-Reduction Technology. Noise management is one of the crucial aspects in the interior design of buildings. As the construction technology becomes more complex and more technically demanding, our proficiency in pipe engineering can address to resolve the increasing demand for customers’ guidelines related to well-being.
The pipes are made in multi-layer PVC-U for Sound Attenuation System technically designed for environmental noise control applications. RAKtherm meets the EN 14366 and German standard DIN 4109, confirming its high-efficiency in noise reduction in sewage systems.
● RAKtherm’s Triple-Sealing-Lip Solutions, Engineered Perfection for PVC Sewer Pipe Systems
The multi-layer reinforced rubber joint, is an integrated seal for plastic pipe systems for aboveground and underground applications of drainage sewerage systems.
RAKtherm’s triple-sealing-lip solutions is now the industry-beating performance, it is highly effective seal which requires low-jointing force while ensuring a secure seal across wide range of pipe-joint level tolerances.
The Concept of Triple-Sealing-Lip from RAKtherm
DIN lock™ is a combined lip and compression seal that is positioned in the socket by the pipe manufacturer. The seal is designed to absorb any permissible variation in the groove.
● Geometric Design for Functionality
The unique design has a flexible thermoplastic elastomeric sealing element bonded to a polypropylene retaining ring which holds the seal firmly in the correct position during pipe transportation and joint assembly.
RAKtherm triple-sealing-lip seal is designed to have a low assembly force in minimum gap and on maximum gap, which is able to have a good compression on its 3 different lips. The assembly can be done at maximum compression without any problem.
3. PEX Piping Systems
PEX refers to cross linked polyethylene (PE-X). It is a polymeric material formed by the chemical joining of individual polyethylene molecules in a process called “crosslinking”, because cross linking alters the performance of the original polyethylene polymer improving its’ properties. The primary reason for cross linking the polyethylene (PE) is to increase the physical properties and materials’ elevated temperature performance under load.
This results in a structure that does not soften when high temperature is applied, thus raising the thermal stability of the material under load, which greatly increases the environmental stress crack resistance, resistance to slow crack growth due to deterioration of the material under continuous temperature use, chemical resistance, toughness and abrasion resistance.
