What is Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC)?
CPVC stands for Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride. It is a specialized thermoplastic material derived by modifying PVC through the chlorination process. This modification introduces chlorine atoms into the PVC polymer chain, enhancing properties that make CPVC suitable for various applications. CPVC exhibits superior heat resistance, corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, and flame-retardant characteristics compared to traditional PVC, making it a valuable material across industries.
The production method of CPVC mainly contains Solvent Method, Solid Phase Method and Aqueous Suspension Method.
Solvent Method and Aqueous Suspension Method are the most commonly used chlorination method for producing CPVC. Its performance depends on two factors: the chlorine content and its distribution in the CPVC molecular chain. Therefore, CPVC products produced by different processes have different properties.
Xintu CPVC Resin are widely used in Special CPVC Paints & Putty, Anti-corrosion Coatings, Flame Retardant Coatings, Chemical Resistant Coatings, Adhesive, Solvent Cement.
Xintu CPVC Resin are also used in the production of PVC Film, Insulation Tape, Cable, Fire-resistant Mud, Cooling Tower Fill, CPVC Pipe & Fittings, as well as Leather Brightener, Lithium Carbonate Adsorbent, Oil Extraction Surfactants, etc.
While Aqueous Suspension Method CPVC is mainly used for hard plastics for pipes.
