Finolex Industries Ltd, one of India’s leading manufacturers in PVC pipes and fittings, recently tied-up with one of the global majors of CPVC compound Lubrizol Corporation, to produce Finolex FlowGuard Plus (FFGP) CVPC pipes and fittings. These are non-metallic pipes made from thermoplastic materials. CPVC compound is being projected as the next breakthrough solution in the plumbing industry. “With a USP of withstanding 25 per cent high pressure rating for same wall thickness than non FlowGuard CPVC pipes, these are ideal for carrying a continuous flow of hot and cold potable water,” Nitin Kulkarni, President – Sales & Marketing, Finolex Industries Ltd.

Unique features
Finolex FlowGuard Plus pipes come with a combination of unique features which gives a winning edge over the erstwhile CPVC pipes. The following features reflect the superiority and the quality of this product such as:
• National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) certified raw material.
• 25 per cent higher pressure rating for same wall thickness than Non FlowGuard pipes. E.g: SDR-11 at 82 C pressure rating is 8.79 kg per sq cm as compared to 7.03 kg per sq cm of Non Flowguard CPVC pipes.
• Ideal for hot water up to 93 C.
• Lowest bacterial growth.
• Safe for potable water systems.
• Vicat softening temperature of 113 C as compared to 109 C of Non-Flowguard CPVC pipes.
• Outstanding fire safety profile does not support fire.
• Insulated properties resulting in high energy saving.
• Strong quality control hence no batch variation.
• No corrosion thus uncompromised water quality.
• FFGP CPVC pipes pass 100 per cent flattening test.

Suitable for hot and cold water distribution systems
FFGP pipes are suitable for hot and cold water distribution systems for indoor and outdoor applications. This system is widely used with solar and geyser and used in many applications. They are used in wide-ranging applications like homes and residential apartments, hospitals, corporate or commercial premises, academic institutes, hotels, high and low-rise buildings, swimming pools and manufacturing plants among others.
