Corzan CPVC Chemical Resistance for Industrial Piping Applications.
One of the key advantages of Corzan CPVC is its excellent resistance to a broad range of corrosive environments. By replacing traditional metal materials with Corzan CPVC, engineers can extend equipment service life and reduce maintenance, while minimizing process life-cycle cost.
Information presented is based on test data and field experience of chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) manufactured by Lubrizol and is not intended to reflect the properties found with other suppliers of CPVC materials.
If you'd like to speak with one of our regional product and engineering specialists, we're always on call to provide advice, information, and training throughout the life of a piping system. Let's Talk.
Recommendation Key:
R - Recommended: Minimal or no swelling and/or loss in tensile strength, low or no potential for Environmental Stress Cracking (ESC)
N - Not Recommended: Significant softening or degradation with loss in material strength
S - Satisfactory Resistance: Low to moderate swelling or degradation above certain temperatures and/or concentrations
E - Possible ESC: Environmental stress cracking possible with mechanical stress on the material. Contact Lubrizol.

1. The temperature of gray CPVC installed in direct sunlight can reach 175°F. This should be considered when establishing the maximum operating temperature of the system.
2. CPVC is not recommended for gas under pressure.
3. A silica-free grade of cement must be used.
4. Do not allow chemical to decompose inside closed off sections of piping as a dangerous overpressure situation could occur.
Disclaimer: The following information is provided as a guide for the selection of Corzan® CPVC piping systems subjected to various chemical substances. The information in the chart is subject to change when new test data is available. Compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations remains the responsibility of the user. In all cases, a physical test of the material under actual operating conditions is the only way to ensure the success of a particular material for the application.
*To develop these recommendations, test data was reviewed in conjunction with field experience and information gathered from various sources to develop the recommendations shown. For industrial process piping applications, this testing comprised coupons of CPVC material immersed in the chemical and held at a constant temperature for 90 days. Resistance evaluations were made using weight gain and change in strength measurements following exposure. It should be noted that laboratory testing is by nature limited in scope and cannot possibly evaluate the effect of all potential variables on the performance of a complex operational piping system. Variations in pipe and fitting production quality, fluid composition, concentration, pressure and temperature; as well as system installation and maintenance can affect the life expectancy of any piping system, especially those carrying extremely corrosive chemicals such as peroxides or concentrated acids and caustics. The full hydrostatic pressure rating of the pipe may not apply to the entire range of temperature and concentration designated as recommended.
