  • UV radiation can damage certain thermoplastic piping materials by promoting the formation of harmful free radicals, which leads to the failure of the system.

  • FlowGuard® CPVC demonstrates notable CPVC UV resistance, making it durable under UV exposure compared to materials like PPR.

 

  • Precautionary measures are recommended for storing CPVC to retain its integrity before installation, despite its inherent CPVC UV resistance afterwards.
