As the pioneer in CPVC technology, FlowGuard® Plus Pipes and Fittings is trusted by residential and commercial buildings around the world. We offer the most well-established CPVC piping systems in the South Asian market, which continually outperforms all other piping materials in key performance areas.
Superior Water Quality
FlowGuard Plus CPVC is one of the safest piping materials available. All major international public health agencies have approved our CPVC for safe use in potable water systems, including the NSF International, ASTM International, Kiwa, and the Water Regulation Advisory Scheme (WRAS).
Chlorine Resistance

Chlorine-based disinfectants can cause pipe failures in PPR (polypropylene), metal, and PEX pipes. FlowGuard Plus CPVC pipe fittings are unaffected by chlorine and chlorine dioxide, and will never fail due to the additives used to keep your water clean and safe.
Excellent Biofilm Resistance
FlowGuard Plus water distribution systems help to keep water pure and cut down on bacterial growth. Multiple international studies confirm that incase of CPVC vs Copper, CPVC consistently outperforms copper and all other plastic piping materials, especially PPR when it comes to resisting the formation of biofilms.
Fire Resistance
FlowGuard Plus CPVC earned the best fire classification rating possible for a non-metal product, due to its low flame and smoke development characteristics. CPVC is self-extinguishing and will not support combustion, which means it will not drip or spread a fire.
Easy, Cost-Effective, and Safe Installation
FlowGuard Plus CPVC pipes and CPVC fittings are joined together using solvent cement. This safe, easy-to-use substance is not glued. Rather, it molecularly fuses a pipe and fitting together creating a joint that is stronger and more durable than one heat welded together.
A solvent-cement system allows for a fast assembly, especially in tight, confined places using readily available, inexpensive tools. Unlike PPR installation, no heat or electricity is required during solvent cementing and there is no fire risk. Moreover, heat fusion of PPR leads to the likelihood of bead formation internally, increasing the chances for mineral deposits and bacterial growth.
Hence, even though the price of CPVC Pipe might be a little higher, it's certainly worth it.
Durable Material, Quality Assured
Lubrizol produces and sells CPVC compounds to licensed manufacturers of FlowGuard Plus pipe and fittings. Lubrizol’s quality assurance program, cooperation, teamwork, and on-site technical support ensure FlowGuard Plus CPVC products are of the highest international standards.
