CPVC systems are chemically inert to most mineral acids, bases and salts, as well as aliphatic hydrocarbons. In addition, these systems are not subject to galvanic corrosion. Hence, CPVC is a suitable choice for highly corrosive, high temperature applications for the following process industries: chemicals, pulp and paper, metal treatment, chlor-alkali, fertilizers, mining, waste water treatment and semiconductors.

Slower-than-expected acceptance of biopolymers seemingly contradicts the escalating interest from both consumers and manufacturers in renewable resources, sustainable packaging and reduced dependence on fossil fuels. High expectations for biopolymer markets are required to be viewed with respect to commercial realities. Read in Challenging time ahead for biopolymers to prove commercial viability
Up to now, mid IR spectroscopy was limited to use in the laboratory and only for gases . A new method of mid-infrared analysis allows on-line monitoring of both the composition as well as physical properties of a plastic while it is being compounded or extruded. It can monitor blend composition, cure level, layer thickness, tensile strength, and any other property that correlates with a material's IR spectrum.
