Chlorinated poly(vinyl chloride) (CPVC) is a thermoplastic polymer created by selective chlorination of standard PVC, resulting in enhanced chemical and thermal resistance compared to its parent material. It is widely used in industrial piping systems, hot water distribution, chemical processing equipment, and fire-resistant applications where PVC alone would be inadequate, offering engineers a cost-effective upgrade path for demanding service conditions without requiring completely different material systems.
