PP-R and PP-RCT solutions for professional installations
Niron is a high-performance piping system based on polypropylene (PP-R and PP-RCT), developed for applications in HVAC, plumbing, and industrial installations. The system combines a wide range of pipes and fittings with an easy installation method via polyfusion, resulting in strong and leak-proof connections.
At Deschacht, you will find a complete range of Niron products, available directly through our webshop, supplemented with technical support for your project.
Why choose Niron in HVAC applications
Within HVAC systems, plastic piping is increasingly being chosen as an alternative to traditional materials. Niron distinguishes itself by its mechanical strength, temperature resistance, and corrosion-free properties, making the system suitable for heating, cooling, and industrial circuits alike.
Thanks to the specific molecular structure of PP-RCT, the material can handle higher pressures and temperatures while maintaining its structural stability, which is essential in applications such as heating loops, chilled water, and process piping.
Complete range for professional installations
The Niron system includes a complete range of components that are perfectly matched to each other:
- pipes in various diameters and SDR classes
- fittings such as sockets, bends, tees and reducers
- transition pieces and installation materials
- manifolds and distribution systems

Niron systems and applications
Niron standard – plumbing and basic HVAC
The standard Niron pipe has been an established value for over 25 years and is used for both cold and hot water in sanitary and HVAC installations. The system is suitable for concealed installation and offers a reliable solution for general applications.
Niron Violet – rainwater circuits
For recovery water applications, Niron offers a variant with clear visual identification. The construction remains identical to the standard pipe, but the color coding makes the system suitable for rainwater and reuse applications.
Niron OB – heating systems
Niron OB is specifically developed for heating systems and complies with various international standards. The integrated oxygen barrier limits the diffusion of oxygen into the system, which is essential for protecting system components and ensuring a longer service life.
Niron fiber-reinforced (FG / Clima) – air conditioning
For applications where thermal expansion plays an important role, such as chilled water and air conditioning systems, Niron offers fiber-reinforced pipes. The fiberglass structure significantly reduces linear expansion and increases the rigidity of the pipe.
Niron Beta – healthcare and industrial applications
The Niron Beta variant has been developed for applications with higher demands regarding chemical resistance, such as hospitals and industrial installations. The material offers increased resistance to, among other things, chlorine and aggressive media.
Installation and processing
Niron pipes are installed via polyfusion (heat fusion), creating a homogeneous connection between pipe and fitting. This results in a connection that is as strong as the base material and exhibits virtually no risk of leaks.
The processing requires the right equipment and knowledge, making the system specifically aimed at professional installers.
FAQ
1. When should I choose PP-RCT instead of standard PP-R pipes?
PP‑RCT is used when higher demands apply in terms of pressure and temperature. Due to the improved molecular structure, this material offers higher mechanical strength and better long-term performance, which is especially important in HVAC and industrial applications involving continuous loading.
2. What are the key points of attention when welding Niron pipes?
For polyfusion joints, temperature, heating time and alignment are crucial. Proper preparation of the pipe and fitting and the use of suitable welding tools ensure a homogeneous joint and prevent stresses in the system.
3. How do you handle thermal expansion in plastic piping?
Polypropylene pipes have a higher expansion coefficient than metal pipes. In applications such as HVAC, this is accommodated by using fiber-reinforced pipes (FG or Clima) or by providing compensation options in the piping system.
4. For which HVAC applications is Niron suitable?
Niron is used in a wide range of HVAC systems, including:
- heating systems
- chilled water circuits
- condenser water and air conditioning
- compressed air and industrial applications
Due to the combination of temperature resistance and chemical resistance, the system is a reliable alternative to traditional materials.
