Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)

1. PVC-U

 PVC-U shows very good characteristics in the temperature range from 0° to +60°C. Ensuring highest possible thermal stability and chemical resistance PVC-U systems stand up to the most demanding conditions, particularly where media such as acids, alkalis, bases and salts are transported. The universal solution covers all aspects of safety, efficiency and reliability required to build, maintain and operate industrial piping systems. 

PVC is the most frequently specified of all thermoplastic piping materials. It has been used successfully for over 60 years. PVC is characterized by distinctive physical properties,and is resistant to corrosion and chemical attack by acids,  alkalis, salt solutions and many other chemicals. It is attacked, however, by polar solvents such as ketones and aromatics.


 Pressure rating up to 16 bar. 
Temperature range 0°C to +60°C. 



Main Applications:
  • Water Treatment
  • Marine
  • Chemical Process Industry
  • Microelectronics
  • Power Plants
Main Advantages:
  • Low investment for tools and equipment
  • Very good chemical and corrosion resistance
  • Proven physiological harmlessness




2. PVC-C

PVC-C piping materials, having an operational temperature range from 0° to 80°C, are suitable for high temperature environments. The excellent mechanical characteristics such as a high tensile strength, stiffness and impact strength are evident even at increased temperatures. 

CPVC conforming to ASTM D1784 has physical properties at 73°F (23°C) similar to those of PVC and chemical resistance similar to or generally better than that of PVC. The design stress of CPVC is also 2,000 psi at 73°F (23°C). The maximum service temperature is 200°F (93°C) under pressure with occasional exposure to boiling water (212°F, 100°C). CPVC has proved to be an excellent piping material for hot corrosive liquids, hot and cold water distribution and similar applications above the temperature range of PVC.

Pressure rating up to 16 bar. 
Temperature range 0°C to +80°C. 

Main Applications:
  • Chemical Process Industry
  • Marine
  • Building Technology
  • Microelectronics
Main Advantages:
  • Very good mechanical characteristics, also at elevated temperatures
  • Outstanding chemical resistance
  • High burning resistance and self-extinguishing
