Performance of CPVC Piping System UnmatchedIn independent testing, new CPVC (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride) piping from Noveon, Inc., has been found to have the highest impact resistance and heat deflection temperature of any other CPVC compound.
Headquartered in Cleveland, with regional centers in Brussels and Hong Kong, Noveon produces special polymers, polymer-based formulations and chemical additives for consumer and industrial products. It is a member of the National Council of the Housing Industry — the Supplier 100 of NAHB.
The manufacturer’s FlowGuard GoldŽ CPVC can withstand three times the impact of standard CPVC. This strength makes it easier to cut the pipe on the construction site, resulting in fewer fractures and breaks and less scrap. FlowGuard Gold water distribution systems can be installed in single-family homes, high-rise buildings and a variety of commercial facilities.
The product has a heat distortion temperature of 230° F, compared to 212° for standard CPVC, which enables it to stay straight where other systems may sag and bend. Stub-outs won’t distort, and rigidity between hangers will remain straight and strong.
FlowGuard Gold pipe and fittings are manufactured to specific performance requirements in accordance with a stringent quality assurance program that exceeds industry standards.
