Xirtec® CPVC Schedule 40 & 80 CPVC
IPEX Inc.
Superior underground performance and chemical resistance
Xirtec® CPVC Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 piping system offers resistance to higher operating temperatures when compared to Xirtec® PVC. Xirtec® CPVC, previously known as Corzan® CPVC, continues to be manufactured using the Corzan® CPVC compound you have grown to trust, providing the performance you expect in demanding industrial projects.
product overview
IPEX high-performance vinyl systems feature outstanding resistance to photodegradation, creep stress, and immunity to oxidation, and are exceptionally suited for use with a wide range of acids, alcohols, salts, and halogens. The perfect extended service, low maintenance alternative to common and exotic metal systems used in applications such as:
- Plant chemical distribution lines
- Acid systems for refineries, pickling lines, and plating shops
- Circuit board manufacturing
- Cooling water and cooling tower systems
- Brine and seawater systems
- Water and Wastewater (Pressure and non-pressure)
fEATUREs & bENEFITS
- Extended life with low maintenance
- Operating temperature range up to 200F pressure and 210F drainage
- Lower Installation Costs, readily available, and Easy to Handle compared to alloys and lined steel
- Excellent impact and chemical resistance
*With energy conservation a prime concern, you can rely on the fact that IPEX’s manufacturing process for Xirtec® piping materials requires less than half the energy needed to produce the equivalent size of carbon steel or steel alloy materials.
