Corzan® CPVC

PLASTINETICS®...The #1 Source For Custom Fabricated Exhaust Systems

PROPERTIES OF CORZAN® CPVC...

Corzan® CPVC duct is manufactured from a specialty blend of material with unique physical properties that safely withstands temperatures up to 200°F (93°C), making it ideal for hot corrosive fumes. CPVC is essentially immune to direct chemical attack by virtually all acids, bases, salts, aliphatic solutions, oxidants and halogens.

In addition to its chemical inertness and good mechanical strength, CPVC products have excellent flammability properties. CPVC will not support combustion and is rated as self-extinguishing. Independent testing has been conducted and has confirmed a flame spread of 0-5 and smoke generation of 15-25 (see chart).

While PLASTINETICS® Inc. specialty is to prefabricate entire fume exhaust systems to your specifications, we also manufacture and supply fume duct pipe, fittings, dampers, stacks, caps, blast gates, etc. for field assembly. Corzan® CPVC can be assembled by solvent cementing, hot gas welding and/or flanged connections.

SOLVENT CEMENTING -- CPVC

Belled-end duct, fittings such as couplings, elbows and other socket-style fittings can be joined using the solvent-cementing process. This process involves the application of a primer and solvent cement to join system components. When properly conducted, this method provides a strong, homogeneous joining area in which the mating surfaces are chemically fused together, producing a strong, leak-tight seal when cured. A socket depth of 3” (all sizes) will provide sufficient joint strength for most systems. Since duct dimensional tolerances can be appreciable when compared to heavy wall pipe, the use of extra-heavy-bodied CPVC cement (such as IPS 729) is recommended due to the cement’s excellent gap-filling properties.

IPS Weld-On #729 is a heavy duty (paste-like) high strength cement. It has excellent gap properties, which become particularly desirable where a sizable gap exists between pipe and fitting.

REINFORCEMENT

Due to Harvel CPVC Duct’s inherent rigidity, additional system reinforcements or flanges are not required for 6” through 24” sizes (.187” average wall or higher) up to 100°F and 10” of negative internal static pressure, provided proper support spacing requirements are followed. Reinforcements are not required for systems under positive pressure when standard support spacing requirements are followed.
