Astral CPVC Pipe doesn't break down even under the harshest of water conditions so there are none of the purity worries from corrosion of metal pipe or soldered joints. Astral CPVC Pipe keeps pure water pure.

Bacteria buildup with CPVC is far lower than with alternative piping, materials Copper, Steel and other thermoplastics.

Astral CPVC pipe has a much higher strength than other thermoplastics used in plumbing. This means that CPVC needs less hangers and supports and there is no unsightly "looping of the pipe. Astral CPVC pipe has a higher pressure bearing capability. This leads to the same flow rate with a smaller pipe size.

Even after years of use in the most aggressive conditions Astral CPVC pipe won't corrode, standing up to low pH water, coastal salt air exposures and corrosive soils. Astral CPVC Pipe stays as solid and reliable as the day it was installed. It maintains full water carrying capacity because its scale resistance means no buildup to cause water pressure loss.

CPVC pipes and fittings are tested regularly by NSF. Astral CPVC piping system meets requirements of both ANSI/ NSF standard 14, plastic piping system components and related materials and standard 61 Drinking Water Systems Components" Health affects. Included in these tests are strict standards and toxicological review relating to chemical extraction products, taste and odor produced in the water by the piping system. These tests ensure that all environmental protection Agency (EPA)standards for safe drinking water are met by the Astral CPVC piping system

Some materials may be adversely affected by chlorine contained in the water supply, which can cause breakdown of the polymer chains and potential leaks. In this respect, CPVC is unaffected by the chlorine present in potable water supply.

CPVC has excellent chemical resistance to strong mineral acids and bases.

Astral CPVC pipe is compatible with both hot and cold water. It with stand very high temperature compared to any other thermoplastic plumbing systems. Many solar and electric water heaters have CPVC piping system for heat efficiency and lower installation cost.

CPVC has a limiting Oxygen Index (LOI) of 60. Thus in air, Astral CPVC pipe does not support combustion. No flaming drips, does not increase the fire load, low flame spread, low smoke generation.

Astral CPVC pipe is more energy efficient than metal pipe. As an insulator it does not lose heat the way metal pipe do. Heat loss and thermal expansion are reduced.

CPVC uses simple, solvent cement jointing method. Tools required are very simple and inexpensive (chamfering tool and pipe cutter only) and avoid the need for an electrical source.

CPVC plumbing systems are approved for contact with potable water in wide range of countries including USA, UK, Canada, Germany, France, The Netherlands, Middle East among others. Here in India, Astral CPVC plumbing system is approved by BMC and CPWD for potable water supply.

Till date, CPVC plumbing system is working satisfactory installed in 1959 in USA. Astral CPVC pipe is built on over 45 years of trouble free performance. Based on the advance polymer chemistry of Noveon, CPVC Plumbing Systems have a proven track record in millions of homes, apartments, hotels and offices.

CPVC Plumbing System is very cost effective than any other plumbing systems. It saves cost on fittings, loops, anchors, offsets, insulation, labour and expensive tools. More over CPVC plumbing systems last longer more than 50 years.
