CPVC/PVC in outdoor desert environment
CPVC/PVC in outdoor desert environment
(OP)
Hi,
one of our supplier wants to install a CPVC piping for a sewage treatment unit located in the desert of Ruwais/UAE. The location is only shaded by a sunshade roof without walls and the unit will be exposed to high UV radiation. In my opinion CPVC is not dedicated for long-term (20 years) outdoor duty even if the industry promises excellent weatherability. Has anybody long-term experience with such installation outdoors ?
best regards
Jens Binder

You can find ASA data at www.matweb.com or in the CAMPUS directory (you can find that through google for example). One grade I have experience of is Luran S 778TE from BASF, that can be coextruded onto PVC and even recycled with the PVC later on if needed. Other manufacturers and grades are available too.
