  2. Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorinated_polyvinyl_chloride

    CPVC sprinkler pipe inside a firestop mock-up. Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) is a thermoplastic produced by chlorination of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin. CPVC is significantly more flexible than PVC, and can also withstand higher temperatures. Uses include hot and cold water delivery pipes and industrial liquid handling.

  3. Thermoplastic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoplastic

    Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) is produced through exposing PVC to the continued free-radical chlorination reaction that originally formulates the PVC polymer. The chlorination reaction continues to add chlorine atoms to the polymer hydrocarbon backbone until most commercial applications reach a percent range between 56 and 74% total ...

    The report concludes that "no single material shows up as the best across all the human health and environmental impact categories, nor as the worst" but that the "risk of dioxin emissions puts PVC consistently among the worst materials for human health impacts."

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_chain

    A cold chain is a supply chain that uses refrigeration to maintain perishable goods, such as pharmaceuticals, produce or other goods that are temperature-sensitive. [1] Common goods, sometimes called cool cargo, [2] distributed in cold chains include fresh agricultural produce, [3] seafood, frozen food, photographic film, chemicals, and pharmaceutical products.

  7. Refrigerated container - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refrigerated_container

    The container is cooled for as long as there is frozen gas available in the system. These have been used in railcars for many years, providing up to 17 days temperature regulation. [ 4 ] Whilst refrigerated containers are not common for air transport, total loss dry ice systems are usually used. [ 3 ]

  8. Polymer degradation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer_degradation

    Polymer degradation is the reduction in the physical properties of a polymer, such as strength, caused by changes in its chemical composition.Polymers and particularly plastics are subject to degradation at all stages of their product life cycle, including during their initial processing, use, disposal into the environment and recycling. [1]

  9. Cured-in-place pipe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cured-in-place_pipe

    The most common liner material, a non-woven felted fabric, does not go around bends well without wrinkling nor maintain roundness going around corners. Once a line is repaired with the CIPP method, it can no longer be cleaned using cables or snakes; instead, high-pressure water blasting (hydrojetting) must be used.
