WHAT IS CPVC?

▪ Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC):
A thermoplastic produced by chlorination of polyvinyl
chloride (PVC) resin.
▪ Thermoplastic: Polymer material that turns
to liquid when heated and becomes solid
when cooled.

▪ 2/3 of CPVC resin by weight comes from salt, of which there is an almost
limitless supply. Only 1/3 comes from petroleum resources.

▪ Total energy requirements for CPVC production are lower than other plastic materials,due primarily to the low petroleum content.

▪ CPVC piping can easily be recycled
as PVC piping or window profiles
▪ Piping material can be collected from the jobsite by a
specialized recycling firm (country specific)
▪ Regrind piping material into pellets and granules
▪ Mix regrind into applications such as:floor fillings, floor coatings, cable trays, speed bumps
and car mats.

The Lubrizol Corporation is a Berkshire Hathaway company.
▪ Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI) – the percentage of oxygen needed in the atmosphere to
support the combustion of a material
▪ The oxygen level in the atmosphere is not more than 21%
▪ CPVC requires more oxygen to sustain a flame than what is available in the atmosphere
Therefore, CPVC does
not sustain a flame.

▪ An independent lab tested and verified the following pipe sizes are
in general accordance with ASTM E84/UL723 and meet the 25/50
flame/smoke requirement
- ½" through 2" FlowGuard™ CPVC pipe and fittings

▪ Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM):
Raw material used to produce PVC
▪ Residual Vinyl Chloride Monomer (RVCM):
VCM that does not react in the irreversible
polymerization process used to transform VCM
into PVC
CPVC AND TOXICITY
© 2017 The Lubrizol Corporation, all rights reserved. All marks are the property of The Lubrizol Corporation.
The Lubrizol Corporation is a Berkshire Hathaway company.
▪ VCM is transformed into PVC by an irreversible polymerization process, so PVC contains only trace amounts of RVCM
▪ The post chlorination of PVC into CPVC reduces RVCM levels by a factor of 300
▪ Testing shows that CPVC does not release VCM when heated to 225°C, far higher than any HCWD system
▪ When CPVC does burn, the combustion products are no more toxic than traditional building materials, such as Douglas Fir (United States Testing Company, Inc., 1989)
▪ Maximum permissible level of RVCM in CPVC for potable water applications is2 ppm (mg/kg)

▪ All building materials impact the environment, in one way or another –
Human toxicity loading is one of several environmental impact categories
▪ Emissions from the manufacturing, use, and disposal of building materials
all contribute to human toxicity
▪ Dioxins are one of many emission categories contributing to human toxicity,
and most studies agree that they are only a minor contributor to total human
toxicity loading*
▪ Addressing the total human toxicity impact of a building material will yield
greater environmental benefits than fixating solely on dioxins

▪ Studies have shown that vinyl content has no effect on dioxin content of gasesfrom incinerators:
- “The presence or absence of vinyl has no effect on the amount of dioxin produced during the incineration process”.
(New York Energy Research and Development Authority, 1987)
- “An analysis of over 1,900 test results from 169 large-scale, commercial incinerator facilities throughout the world found no relationship between the chlorine content of waste and dioxin emissions from combustion processes under real-life conditions”.(American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 1995)
- “Reducing the quantity of PVC in waste does not reduce the quantity of dioxin in the waste gases”.(Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, 1996)
▪ Operating conditions, not vinyl, govern dioxin formation in incinerators

▪ Biofilm: Forms when bacteria adhere to surfaces in aqueous
environments and begin to excrete a slimy, glue-like substance
that can anchor to all kinds of materials
▪ Biofilm Formation Potential (BFP): Potential growth of bacteria on
a material surface that is in contact with water (e.g. pipes, flushing
containers, storage containers)

Dr. Paul Sturman concludes:
“CPVC consistently
outperforms most other non-
metallic piping materials with
regard to its ability to resist the
formation of biofilms”.

UNAFFECTED BY CHLORINE IN WATER SUPPLY
47
When chlorine is added to water for disinfection, it transforms to hypochlorous acid. Hypochlorous acid is a strong oxidizer which is capable of breaking the carbon-to-carbon bonds of the polyolefin polymer chain, effectively disintegrating it.
FlowGuard® CPVC resists Chlorine, Chloramine and Chlorine Dioxide, which makes it the best solution in this region especially in hospitals and hotels.

Value Prop
• Anti-corrosion
• No degradation from oxidizers used for disinfection (ASHRAE 188)
• Lighter weight than steel – easier to handle and provides for alternative locations vs
steel
• Lower Cost vs Steel –
• Lower cost of ownership -
• Low friction loss, Lower pumping requirements, energy saving.
• Lower thermal conductivity (insulation could be thinner than metal, but rarely practical) –
if no energy code, value engineering possible if insulation is merely for safety
• Easier install/lower cost/inside diameter greater than PPR
• Higher temperature hot water delivery

We are all connected by the same noble pursuit: to reliably deliver the water that enriches,
sustains and protects life. Here at Lubrizol, we’re committed to serving this purpose—for life.
That’s why we go beyond producing superior chemical compounds to lend a hand through the
manufacturing process, offer guidance to installers and promote the benefits of CPVC over steel
to help set new codes and standards. Lubrizol stands with you as a reliable partner, from the
molecular level through product installation…and beyond. So you can build the confidence you
need to build the business you want, and reap the rewards in your own life.
