Material Advantages

Unlike metallic alternatives, Corzan® CPVC innately resists corrosion and scaling, protecting you from costly remediation, inefficiencies and danger. What are Corrosion and Scaling? Corrosion is the deterioration of material – primarily metal – resulting from various reactions that occur between the material and its surrounding environment. There are several types of corrosion: Internal Corrosion – Generally caused…

Water-saving strategies such as low-flow fixtures have become a vital tool in the conservation movement. But even positive changes can have unintended consequences. Water-use reduction measures can create water quality issues like fostering biofilm and Legionella growth, chemical leaching and chemical permeation. Corzan® piping systems offer the best solution for maintaining healthy water quality by protecting against…

Concerns about a material’s effects on the environment and human health and safety should be top-of-mind during the material selection process. Lubrizol made these factors a priority when formulating Corzan® CPVC. Corzan CPVC has earned green certifications, helps mitigate health risks from Legionella and keeps people safe from aggressive chemicals. Environmental Impact and Corzan CPVC Corzan CPVC’s…

As materials science experts, the formulation scientists at Lubrizol are committed to creating compounds that don’t just meet expectations but far exceed them. Corzan® CPVC is rigorously tested both in-house and by third parties to beat industry requirements for resistance to flame and smoke, bursting, flattening and impacts. Flame/Smoke Tests The natural properties of Corzan…

The savvy specifier will look at all costs associated with a possible material before choosing one. When properly specified and installed, Corzan® CPVC has a lower up-front material cost and a lower total cost of ownership than competing materials. Industrial Applications No matter the material, costs are on the rise. Even so, Corzan CPVC remains less…

Whether commercial or industrial, selecting or upgrading materials for a piping system, ducting, tank lining or another large application is a major investment. These costs can multiply if the material chosen can’t stand up to harsh conditions. The Corzan® CPVC compound is produced with tight quality control and testing to produce consistent results under the…

Ensuring compatibility between piping material and ancillary products is essential to the health and longevity of the system. With metal piping, the industry knows to avoid contact between dissimilar metals to avoid galvanic corrosion. For generations, plumbers have known that copper must be protected when installed in concrete or high salinity environments because of corrosion…

No material will ever be a one-size-fits-all solution. But Corzan CPVC has emerged as the material of choice for many environments that handle corrosive and caustic materials. Corzan CPVC continues to perform reliably overtime, unlike copper and steel, which can corrode, or PEX and PP-R, which can crack after chlorine degradation. It often has a…

Demo Bản Tiếng Anh Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) is an important engineering thermoplastic due to its: Relatively low cost High glass transition temperature High heat distortion temperature Chemical inertness Outstanding mechanical, dielectric, and flame and smoke properties CPVC was first commercialized by Lubrizol in the early 1960s and has since proven its value in a…
