“Durastream EX” is a CPVC (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride resin) compound of the SEKISUI CHEMICAL Group, specifically designed for fire sprinkler pipes and fittings applications.
It is characterised by its high performance in terms of heat resistance, flame resistance, durability and ease of implementation. It meets the various standards required in the region or country where it is implemented. It also conforms to the international UL standard for certification, meets ASTM, other national standards, and is used in many regions and countries.
Here are some examples of “Durastream EX” implementations.
Fire sprinkler systems installed in buildings are basically piped between the pressurised water supply system and the sprinkler heads, which are filled with water. Flow detection devices are installed at intermediate points in the pipework and are responsible for adjusting the flow rate when the sprinklers are released. If a leak occurs in the pipework, the flow regulator may malfunction and trigger the sprinklers.
Therefore, fire sprinkler piping is required to have mechanical strength, such as resistance to heat in the event of fire (heat resistance and flame resistance), as well as resistance to corrosion and pressure resistance against constantly applied water pressure.
CPVC is the material of choice to meet these performance requirements for fire sprinkler piping.
The properties of CPVC, such as heat resistance, flame resistance, resistance to corrosion and high strength, make it extremely suitable for fire sprinkler piping applications.
