Lubrizol Advanced Materials is a world-leading manufacturer of post-chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) and has specifically designed compounds for use in fire sprinkler systems. CPVC pipes and fittings provide unique advantages in sprinkler installations, including superior hydraulics and ease of joining and assembly. CPVC pipe systems were first installed in the United States before being adopted successfully across Europe, Great Britain and Scandinavia. Following recent European-led initiatives to address the need for more sustainable building solutions, several independent studies by European government agencies and insurers have shown that the installation of fire sprinkler systems is an important contributing factor in sustainability. They considerably reduce fire, smoke and water damage and eliminate the need for fire damaged buildings to be torn down and rebuilt. CPVC fire sprinkler piping further contributes to a positive environmental impact because its production requires less energy than steel pipe and because it outperforms metal pipe in terms of longevity (due to its corrosion resistance).
