Corzan® CPVC Chemical Resistance Table

Compare Corzan® CPVC's suitability against 400+ chemicals.

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.

Evaluation Criteria

Is Corzan^® CPVC right for your industrial application?

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.
