Key Features of FlowGuard Plus CPVC Compound 

CPVC pipes and fittings demand compounds that are efficient enough to withstand high temperatures and pressures, as well as wear and tear caused over time. FlowGuard Plus CPVC Compound not only stands the test of time but also ensures optimum operation with its exceptional properties. Let’s take a glimpse at some features that make our CPVC compounds stand out from the rest. 

Enhanced Chemical Resistance 

FlowGuard Plus CPVC, unlike polyolefin pipes such as PPR, PEX, and PB, is resistant to chlorine and chlorine dioxide, ensuring that the system remains unaffected throughout its lifespan. This resistance is especially worth noting because other plastics and metal pipes are significantly affected by these disinfectants, which further necessitates the need for careful monitoring. The FlowGuard Plus Pipe and Fittings leverage the industry-leading FBC™ System Compatible Program. This eliminates the concerns associated with determining chemical compatibility in ancillary construction products, resulting in a reliable solution. 

High Temperature Tolerance 

Material durability can be profoundly affected by weather variations ranging from extreme heat to cold temperatures. Using an unsuitable material in such cases can result in catastrophic failures. This is when FlowGuard Plus CPVC piping compound comes in handy, as it has a temperature resistance of up to 93°C, making it a perfect choice for both hot and cold water systems. It is additionally resistant to fire and UV light, which further enhances its temperature tolerance feature. 

Low Thermal Conductivity 

FlowGuard CPVC compounds boast low thermal conductivity, which makes them an ideal pick for several applications. In the event of a fire, CPVC might char but won’t catch fire, sustain a flame, or drip molten material, all of which make it a distinctive feature you won’t find in other plastic types. 

Corrosion Resistance 

FlowGuard CPVC compounds have an advantage over metal pipes like copper, aluminium, and steel thanks to their ability to withstand extreme conditions. On one hand, where metal pipes can easily corrode in aggressive water conditions, FlowGuard CPVC fittings and pipes impeccably resist corrosion, ensuring a long-lasting and reliable plumbing system. 

Comparing FlowGuard Plus CPVC Compound with Other CPVC Compounds 

In 2017, over 1 billion feet of CPVC found its way into plumbing systems worldwide, solidifying its status as the preferred material for hot and cold-water systems. However, not all CPVC compounds are equally efficient. FlowGuard® CPVC stands out with 60 years of proven performance and pioneering CPVC technology, setting us apart as the trusted choice for reliable plumbing installations.

Quality Assurance 

This is our No. 1 priority as a customer-centric business. FlowGuard Plus CPVC piping systems are exclusively manufactured by only reputed companies from across the globe. Every partner manufacturer is obligated to participate in our quality assurance program, ensuring consistent quality across all FlowGuard Plus CPVC products, regardless of location or manufacturer. While the upfront cost may be higher than other plastic water pipes, the holistic cost-effectiveness of FlowGuard Plus CPVC makes it worth every penny. 

Long-Term Stability 

FlowGuard Plus systems are the only complete CPVC pipe and fitting systems that are made from Plastic Pipe Institute® pressure-rated materials. Our CPVC pipes and fittings go through rigorous testing and have proven themselves by consistently outperforming other CPVC materials by substantial margins. With up to 18-92% higher sustained pressure resistance at high temperatures, 33-80% higher resistance to impact fracture, and fittings lasting as much as four times longer under high temperatures and pressures, FlowGuard Plus promises unmatched long-term stability. 

Global Recognition and Trust 

FlowGuard Plus CPVC Compound is the most preferred material, trusted by millions across the globe. We promise optimum safety, enhanced quality, and exceptional performance by either meeting or exceeding the requirements of key international approval agencies. These agencies include ASTM International, NSF International, Kiwa, the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme (WRAS), British Standards (BSI), and the Saudi Arabian Standard Organisation (SASO). Additionally, the FlowGuard Plus CPVC holds the essential BIS Certification (IS 15778), making it the preferred choice for governing bodies seeking top-quality materials at optimal value.
