PPR vs CPVC

While PPR and CPVC have both demonstrated popularity, CPVC has several key qualities that make for happier homeowners. CPVC is stronger and can withstand higher levels of pressure. Its chemical resistance eliminates leaching, allowing pure water to pass through and stay pure. Bacterial growth on the inside of the pipe is also minimised due to the smoothness of the pipe’s surface. 

However, competition in the trade is high, and homeowners don’t just want the safest; they want the best. So what happens when they ask about FlowGuard?

CPVC vs FlowGuard CPVC

CPVC speaks to the customer that wants clean, safe water. FlowGuard CPVC speaks to the people who want that experience to last. The chlorine content in FlowGuard CPVC helps protect the surface of the pipe from corrosion and scaling that can releases plastic particles into the supply. This is vital to protect homeowners’ pipes from the corrosive properties of chlorine and hypochlorous acid, present in all drinking water. 

On the outside, FlowGuard CPVC has superior UV resistance. Its natural resistance to free radical degradation such as UV is particularly beneficial for outdoor applications in hot countries.
