Executive Summary
Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC), also called post-chlorinated PVC, is a thermoplastic produced by the modification of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin. The modification process is called (chlorination).
CPVC is significantly more flexible and can withstand higher temperatures and more severe corrosion than standard PVC. CPVC is especially good for use with halogenated solvents, acids, and other materials.
It also is stronger than PVC and is the choice for hot corrosive liquids, hot- and cold water plumbing pipe and similar applications.
CPVC resins are mixed with additives and other materials to make CPVC compounds. Today, most of the major CPVC resin producers are also CPVC compounders. The compounding process increases both the volumes and values of CPVC.
CPVC compounds are used for making CPVC products such as pipe and tubing (P/T) and fittings through processing CPVC compounds by injection or blow molding, thermoforming, extruding, or other methods. The processing increases the market values but slightly reduces the volumes due to the material loss in the processing steps.
In this report, we include both pipe and tubing for completeness of the pipe industry. A pipe is defined in the McGraw-Hill “Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms” (4th Edition) as “a tube made of metal, clay, plastic, wood or concrete and used to conduct a fluid, gas or finely divided solid.” Note that this definition uses the term “tube” to define a pipe; this is in keeping with the definition of the tube from the same dictionary as “a long cylindrical body with a hollow center, used to convey fluid.” Thus, “tube” is the overriding word used to denote any long hollow cylinder. In the pipe and tubing industry, the terms usually are used in different contexts. All pipe is tubing, but all tubing is not a pipe. The standard industry definition and understanding is that pipe usually is larger, and for years has been defined by the dimensions of the standard iron pipe. Tubing usually is smaller in diameter and generally made to closer tolerances than the pipe, with different dimensional standards. Often, the tubing has a finer and smoother finish than the pipe and is used in more exacting applications, such as transport of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
In addition to P/T and fittings, CPVC is also used in other applications such as coatings, adhesives, plastic modifiers, and industrial plates. These other products together account for only a little over 10% of the total of the CPVC product market.
