Chlorine is added to polyvinyl chloride to produce CPVC by using the fluidized bed or water slurry chlorination process.

Key Points: 
  • Chlorine is added to polyvinyl chloride to produce CPVC by using the fluidized bed or water slurry chlorination process.
  • A fire sprinkler system consists of a water supply & distribution piping system installed on walls or ceilings.
  • It gets activated once the sprinkler head reaches the activation temperature in case of a fire breakout & sprays high-pressure water over the flames to extinguish them.
  • CPVC can be made into High-voltage electrical power cable conduit due to its excellent heat resistance and insulation characteristic.
