Lubrizol CPVC Now Offers Mobile App for Android(TM) Devices
CLEVELAND, January 28, 2014 – The Lubrizol Corporation’s CPVC mobile app is a handy, useful jobsite resource for building and construction professionals. Previously available for the Apple® iPhone® and iPad®, the app is now also available for free download on Android devices. Lubrizol CPVC designed the app to provide easy access to valuable information and tools about Lubrizol CPVC’s trusted brands, including FlowGuard Gold® Pipe & Fittings, BlazeMaster® Fire Sprinkler Systems and Corzan® Piping Systems.
The mobile app features the Lubrizol CPVC FBC(TM) System Compatible product finder, a tool that helps identify the chemical compatibility between Lubrizol CPVC piping systems and other common construction materials. This tool supports project success, taking the guesswork out of chemical compatibility. The app also includes the latest news from Lubrizol CPVC, as well as regional contact information for training and support in the field.
“We want all our customers to have easy access to the valuable information and tools, so they can be confident in all their projects that use Lubrizol CPVC,” said Mike Taylor, Manager of Marketing Communications for Lubrizol CPVC Piping Systems. “We’re pleased with the continued advancement of our mobile app and look forward to learning more about how our customers are using it to implement further improvements.”
The Lubrizol CPVC mobile app initially debuted for the Apple iPad at the 2013 NAHB International Builders’ Show. It was later expanded in the fall of 2013 to include the Apple iPhone and more recently updated for Android devices.

Aquatherm continues to expand its ecofriendly reach with the arrival of its newest product: 4-in. Aquatherm Blue Pipe® SDR 17.6 faser-composite. This new offering allows for more cost effective installation and increased efficiency in applications such as chilled water, geothermal, and condenser water, among others.
Aquatherm Blue Pipe SDR 17.6 was initially introduced in 6-in. to 24-in.-diameter. However, Aquatherm responded to customer demand for this smaller diameter pipe for water mains applications and similar installations. Standard dimension ratio (SDR) is the ratio of pipe diameter to wall thickness. Aquatherm manufactures pipe in SDRs of 7.4, 11 and 17.6. The SDR 17.6 pipe delivers roughly a 20% higher flow volume than SDR 11 at a lower cost and reduces pipe weight by 35%.
All Aquatherm polypropylene pipe (PP-R) systems are connected via heat fusion – which bonds pipe and fitting at a molecular level, creating a connection that lasts a lifetime and eliminates toxic materials, glues, resins, and open flames from piping installations. The faser-composite layer is Aquatherm’s proprietary blend of fiberglass and PP-R, which allows the pipe to remain rigid at higher temperatures and helps to limit expansion and contraction.
While Aquatherm piping systems have been proven around the world for 40 years, they have increasingly been specified in a wide variety of North American PHVAC systems and applications in commercial, government, industrial and residential projects. Aquatherm Blue Pipe is an alternative to steel and copper pipe and is non-corrosive, nontoxic, does not contain phthalates or BPA, is lead-free, and chemically inert. Additionally, Aquatherm PP-R has a low friction factor, requires less energy to manufacture than other piping products, and is fully recyclable.
