General Introduction

Chemical Definition: Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride
Abbreviation: CPVC
Formula: (-C6H8CL4-) n

Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride Properties
Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (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 200 °F (90 °C) are present (excellent heat resistance property). 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 Application
Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) is a popular engineering material due to its relatively low cost, high glass transition temperature, high heat distortion temperature, chemical inertness, and flame and smoke properties.

Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) is used in a variety of industrial applications where a high functional temperature and resistance to corrosive chemicals are desirable.

Besides pipe and fittings, Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) is used in pumps, valves, strainers, filters, tower packing, and duct, as well as sheet for fabrication into storage tanks, fume scrubbers, large diameter duct, and tank lining.

Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) is also a favored material for hula hoop makers.
