Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride [cpvc] has become an important engineering thermoplastic due to its relatively low cost, high glass transition temperature, high heat distortion temperature, chemical inertness, and outstanding mechanical, dielectric, and flame and smoke properties. Cpvc has proven its value in a variety of industrial applications in which a high temperature and excellent resistance to corrosive chemicals are desirable. Besides pipe and fittings, many other industrial fluid-handling products are available in corzan cpvc systems including pumps, valves, strainers, tower packing, and ducts, as well as sheets for fabrication of tanks, ducts, and tank lining. Major advantages of corzan cpvc industrial piping system: internal and external corrosion resistance; immunity to galvanic or electrolytic corrosion; chemical resistance; withstands temperature up to 93ºc; higher pressure bearing capacity; low thermal conductivity; low thermal expansion; easy installation and low installation costs; low friction loss; maintenance free; fire resistance; high mechanical strength; leak proof joints; and long life performance.
