CPVC stands for Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride, a thermoplastic material produced by chlorinating standard PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride). The additional chlorine content enhances its strength, durability, and temperature resistance — making it an ideal material for modern plumbing systems.
CPVC products are manufactured using high-quality CPVC resins and have been trusted in plumbing applications for over 50 years. These pipes and fittings are known for their exceptional chemical resistance, reliability, and ability to withstand high temperatures up to 93°C (200°F) and high pressure, making them perfect for residential, commercial, industrial, and even fire sprinkler systems.

Suitable for main water supply lines and building connections. Withstands high pressure and temperature.
1 1/4 inch CPVC Pipe
Perfect for mid-sized commercial plumbing and overhead water lines. Reliable under heavy usage.
1 1/2 inch CPVC Pipe
Used in large residential buildings and light industrial plumbing. Tough and corrosion-resistant.
2 inch CPVC Pipe
Heavy-duty pipe ideal for high-pressure water distribution in industrial or large commercial projects.
Main Features & Benefits of CPVC
Fire Proof
CPVC has the ability to self-extinguish and does not catch fire when exposed to fire because of the high limiting oxygen index (i.e. 60). It does not burn but turns carbonized black when heat is applied.
Low Thermal Expansion & Contraction
Less expansion of CPVC pipe when hot water runs. Hence less expansion loop required & less looping & snaking.
Resistance to Scaling
CPVC has a smooth inner surface. Hence C factor is very high as compared to Copper, Steel & GI (i.e. 150). Higher C value means less friction, less head loss and no scaling.
Lower Heat Loss
CPVC has low thermal conductivity and possesses excellent warming and cooling effects with no condensation.
Corrosion Resistance
CPVC is resistant to corrosion, rust and tube clogging. CPVC is resistant to chemicals like acids, bases, salts and halogens.
UV Resistant
CPVC plumbing system has very good UV resistant property. Hence limited to a surface discoloration, no breakdown of polymer chain, no significant loss in pressure bearing capacity. For further protection apply a single coat of water base paint if it is exposed to sunlight.
NSF Approved
CPVC is non toxic and antibacterial.Certified by NSF. Hence it is suitable for potable water systems.
Effect of Chlorine
Chlorine, a commonly used chemical to treat water in India is corrosive in nature. CPVC is unaffected by chlorine in water supply.
Easy Installation
Simple solution jointing system. No special tools required for jointing. Easy repairable/modifiable after installation.
Tough, Rigid Material
CPVC has much higher strength than other thermoplastic used in plumbing applications. Hence it requires less support, no snaking, suitable for vertical plumbing & high pressure bearing capacity.

How is CPVC made?
Each step in making CPVC is critical. From raw material to PVC, PVC to CPVC, from CPVC to finished product. In the first step, petroleum is put in a cracker and then ethylene is extracted from it. Manufacturers then react to the two chemicals chlorine and ethylene to form a new liquid chemical known as ethylene dichloride.
The EDC is dehydrated through an oxychlorination process and is ultimately broken down into Vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) .Then VCM is then polymerized in a high-pressure reactor to form Polyvinyl chloride. Then PVC resin is manufactured. The PVC is then subjected to the chlorination process.
Polyvinyl chloride is chlorinated through a free radical chlorination reaction. CPVC is then produced by adding chlorine to PVC in a fluidized bed chlorination process. The chlorination process is then initiated by ultraviolet light. The CPVC is compounded with the necessary ingredients and is further processed. Because of extra chlorination CPVC is suitable for hot water plumbing systems.
