Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC) is a type of engineering plastic used in a variety of applications. It is a thermoplastic produced by chlorination of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin, which increases its chlorine content and improves its chemical and physical properties. CPVC is highly resistant to corrosion and has excellent thermal stability, making it suitable for use in hot and cold water systems, chemical processing, and other industrial applications. It is also used in the manufacture of pipes, fittings, valves, and other components. CPVC is a cost-effective alternative to metal and other engineering plastics, and is widely used in the construction, automotive, and medical industries. Some of the major companies in the CPVC market include Lubrizol Corporation, Solvay, Teknor Apex, KEM ONE, and PolyOne Corporation. Show Less Read more
