CPVC

OMEGA-CHLORO ® Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC) is created when PVC homopolymers undergoes a chlorination reaction resulting in additional chlorine atoms on the base molecule.

The result is an amorphous polymer similar to PVC in composition with a higher heat distortion temperature. This provides a material with high temperature strength and excellent flammability properties that also exhibit many of the desirable physical characteristics of polyvinyl chloride such as exceptional corrosion resistance and good mechanical properties. OMEGA-CHLORO ® has an upper working temperature limit of 93ºC, which greatly increases the product’s application range and makes it advantageous for many aggressive high temperature processing applications. OMEGA-CHLORO ® is used in the manufacture of pipes, fittings, valves, machining shapes, sheet and duct.
