CPVC
CPVC Resins
CPVC, or chlorinated polyvinyl chloride, is highly valued in the plumbing industry for its outstanding properties, making it a top choice for hot water pipes. As a cost-effective and high-performance alternative to traditional copper pipes, CPVC offers excellent chemical and heat resistance, effectively handling high temperatures and corrosive environments. This durability ensures reliable, long-lasting performance in both residential and commercial hot water systems, where consistent operation is essential. Lucalor®, a CPVC product from KEM ONE, enhances these characteristics, making it versatile and suitable for various applications.
CPVC’s adaptability is further demonstrated through its compatibility with different manufacturing methods such as extrusion, injection molding, and calendaring. These processes enable the efficient production of CPVC pipes and fittings, crucial for plumbing systems. Beyond plumbing, CPVC is used in manufacturing profiles, textile fibers, and films, thanks to its robust performance and flexibility. Its reliability ensures continued demand across industries that require strong, adaptable materials capable of withstanding challenging conditions.
CPVC Compounds
Kemone and Performance Additives offer NSF listed compounds specifically designed for USA potable water distribution systems, ensuring high standards of safety and compliance. These compounds are approved for both pipes and fittings, highlighting their exceptional quality and versatility within water infrastructure. This dual approval is pivotal as it allows construction of the entire water distribution network with materials that meet strict health and safety standards, thereby minimizing contamination risks.
In collaboration with a trusted French compounding partner, these compounds are meticulously produced to meet stringent regulatory requirements, enhancing their quality and reliability. For projects not requiring NSF certification, Performance Additives provides flexibility by partnering with USA-based domestic compounders to deliver tailored solutions. Furthermore, they offer comprehensive technical support to end users and compounders, facilitating seamless integration of their compounds into various applications while addressing compliance and application techniques.
