Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride, commonly known as CPVC, is a thermoplastic piping material used for plumbing and industrial applications. It is known for its high-temperature tolerance, corrosion resistance, and durability — making it a reliable choice for transporting hot and cold water in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.
✅ How is CPVC Different from PVC?
While both CPVC and PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) are plastic-based piping materials, the key difference lies in their temperature resistance. CPVC undergoes a chlorination process, which enhances its ability to withstand higher temperatures — typically up to 93°C (200°F) — whereas PVC is suitable only for cold-water applications.
???? Key Features of CPVC Pipes
High Temperature Resistance:
Suitable for both hot and cold water applications.
Corrosion-Free:
Unlike metal pipes, CPVC doesn’t corrode or scale over time.
Long Life Span:
CPVC pipes can last over 50 years with minimal maintenance.
Easy Installation:
Lightweight and easy to cut, join, and install using solvent cement.
Smooth Flow:
The inner surface resists biofilm formation, ensuring smooth water flow.
Chemical Resistance:
Resistant to most acids, bases, and salts, making it ideal for industrial use too.
???? Where Are CPVC Pipes Used?
Residential hot and cold water plumbing
Commercial buildings
Industrial fluid handling
Hospitals and hotels
Fire here suppression systems (in specific CPVC variants)
