Corzan® chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) is an important engineering thermoplastic due to its:
- High heat distortion temperature. Certified for use up to 200°F (93.3°C).
- Relatively low material cost. Has successfully replaced and outlasted metals and other costly materials.
- Inherent chemical resistance. Corrosion-free piping to maintain pressure ratings, flow rates and fluid purity, and to prevent costly repairs.
- Simple and superior installation. Solvent welding fuses the piping and fitting at the molecular level, maintaining system performance.
- Fire-related safety advantages. Heat transfer coefficient is approximately 1/300th that of steel, and the material does not sustain burning and requires no flame to install.
- Certified pressure rating. Pressure rated in accordance with ASTM D2837, having a Hydrostatic Design Basis (HDB) of 4000 psi at 72°F (23°C) and 1000 psi at 180°F (82.2°C).
