Chlor-alkali applications create some of the harshest conditions to which chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) material can be subjected, and thus materials intended for use in these settings must be especially resilient to localized corrosion and stress- corrosion cracking. Made from durable CPVC, Corzan® Industrial Systems offers superior resistance to corrosive chemicals, high temperatures and harsh application conditions. As a result, pipe and fittings made from Corzan deliver what the process industry needs most -- longer service life, lower maintenance costs and reduced downtime in the toughest environments, including wet chlorine gas, high-purity brine and brine-saturated chlorine.
