PPR (Polypropylene Random Copolymer) pipe is a type of thermoplastic pipe made from a specific type of polypropylene resin. PPR pipe is a modern plumbing solution that has gained popularity worldwide due to its exceptional properties and versatility. The molecular structure of PPR includes randomly arranged propylene monomers and ethylene, creating a material that offers excellent resistance to high temperatures, chemicals, and pressure. This random arrangement is what gives PPR its name and its unique characteristics compared to other plastic pipes. Unlike traditional materials like copper or galvanized steel, PPR pipes don’t corrode or scale over time. They’re also significantly lighter, making them easier to transport and install. The smooth inner surface reduces friction, allowing for better water flow and less noise during operation.

Say you buy 100 shares of Apple (AAPL) at $150 each. Later, supply chain issues arise or a new Apple product underperforms causing investors to lose confidence, which pushes the stock price to $100 per share. It's not really a $50 per share loss. Rather, it's a reflection of what investors are now willing to pay for Apple shares—the way a new car's value depreciates—the vehicle hasn't changed, but its market value does.
