Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride
ID: chlorinated-polyvinyl-chloride
Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) is a thermoplastic material derived from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) through a chlorination process. This process involves the addition of chlorine to the PVC polymer, which enhances the material's thermal stability, chemical resistance, and fire resistance. CPVC is known for its ability to withstand higher temperatures compared to standard PVC, making it suitable for various applications.
