Chlorinated PolyVinyl Chloride (CPVC) Description

CPVC (Chlorinated PolyVinyl Chloride) is a thermoplastic produced by chlorination of PVC (PolyVinyl Chloride) resin. CPVC shares most of the features and properties of PVC. It is also readily workable, including machining, welding, and forming.

Because of its excellent corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures, CPVC is ideally suited for self-supporting constructions where temperatures up to 90°C are present. The ability to bend, shape, and weld CPVC enables its use in a wide variety of processes and applications. It exhibits fire-retardant properties.

Chlorinated PolyVinyl Chloride (CPVC) Properties

Higher rigidity, strength and hardness at increases temperatures (+90°C)
Self-extinguishing
High chemical resistance
Good insulation properties for electronics
High Mechanical Strength
Low water absorption

Chlorinated PolyVinyl Chloride (CPVC) FAQs

What is Chlorinated PolyVinyl Chloride (CPVC), and how is it different from PVC?

CPVC is a thermoplastic material created by chlorinating PVC resin, giving it enhanced properties such as higher rigidity, strength, and heat resistance. Unlike standard PVC, CPVC can withstand temperatures up to 90°C and is ideal for high-temperature and chemical-resistant applications.

What are the common applications of CPVC?

CPVC is widely used in industrial piping systems, chemical processing, electronics insulation, and construction. Its ability to resist corrosion, fire, and high temperatures makes it suitable for self-supporting structures and environments with harsh conditions.

What are the chemical and thermal properties of CPVC?

CPVC exhibits high chemical resistance to acids, bases, and salts, along with excellent thermal stability at temperatures up to 90°C. It also features self-extinguishing fire-retardant properties, making it a safe choice for industrial use.

Can CPVC be easily machined and formed?

Yes, CPVC is highly workable and can be machined, welded, and formed into various shapes. This versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of applications and easy to adapt to specific project requirements.
