CPVC (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride) is a thermoplastic pipe used for potable water supply in residential construction. It’s a modified version of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) that’s made more stable and rigid through a chlorination process. The added chlorine gives CPVC better insulating properties, higher temperature tolerance, and improved resistance to fire and corrosion. CPVC pipes are available in sizes from 1/2″ to 24″ and are approved for use in plumbing and mechanical codes in the United States and Canada.

Advantages of CPVC Pipe
CPVC water supply pipe is based on chlorinated polyvinyl chloride resin as the main raw material, extruded by extrusion machine to produce a new type of water supply pipe. The greatest advantage of CPVC water supply pipe is more high temperature. If the molding CPVC pipe raw materials have a larger proportion of graphite filler, but also can be used to do the heat pipe, this pipe in the domestic application only in recent years began, and more used in water and cold water, thermochemical Solutions and waste pipelines, long-term use of infusion temperature up to 120 degrees Celsius, life expectancy up to 40 years.
Characteristics of CPVC pipe
1, CPVC pipe tensile strength, flexural strength, flexural modulus and pressure capacity are higher than the polyethylene pipe, PVC pipe and polypropylene pipe.
2, chemical resistance, heat resistance and weatherability than PVC pipe.
3, the transport of drinking water is not affected,by chlorine in the water to ensure the quality of drinking water.
4, excellent flame retardancy, combustion does not produce dripping, slow combustion spread, does not produce toxic gases.
5, good flexibility, easy installation, with solvent can be connected.
Application range of CPVC pipes
Landscaping Engineering, Waterworks, Paper Mill, Electrical Engineering, Brewing Fermentation Plant, Construction Engineering, Electroplating Plant, Sewer Engineering, Agricultural Land, Telecom Engineering, Mines, Drilling Engineering, Aquaculture, Saltwater Engineering, Freeway Engineering, Natural Gas Engineering, golf course engineering, chemical plants, plastic rafts for fishing.
