Corzan® CPVC (post-chlorinated poly-vinyl chloride), developed in 1958 by BFGoodrich, has offered the process industry superior corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and excellent life-cycle economics in a single package. Corzan® CPVC offers industry longer service life, lower maintenance, and improved process utilization compared to traditional materials. Corzan™ Industrial Systems also offers design specialists to provide projects assistance on topics such as material capabilities, specifications and design recommendations.

The balance of properties offered by Corzan® CPVC is essential in process industries. Long service life, minimum downtime, and environmental compliance are critical to the success of firms in the process industry. Achieving these success factors can be challenging in industries where corrosion can decrease equipment life, interrupt production, and create potential environmental issues. As a result, these industries often require that process equipment be made of materials that will resist corrosion while also providing mechanical strength and safety performance. Corzan® CPVC was developed specifically to meet these special requirements.
