Having huge-butt fake nails make me happy. I realize long, acrylic talons make others want to yack, as evidenced by one of my housemates saying, âEw,â as I showed her my new set, all excited-like. (I mean, she had a similar reaction when she saw I dyed my hair yellow. And she sometimes wears pearls.
Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) is a thermoplastic produced by chlorination of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin.Uses include hot and cold water pipes, and industrial liquid handling.PVC shares most of the features and properties of PVC. It is also readily workable, including machining, welding, and forming. Because of its excellent corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures, CPVC is ideally suited for self-supporting constructions where temperatures up to 200 Â°F (90 Â°C) are present.
CPVC is also a thermoplastic that is molded into many of the same products as PVC. This difference in makeup allows CPVC to withstand a wider range of temperatures. This is why many building codes require the use of CPVC as opposed to PVC for use in hot water applications. The ASTM standard allows PVC to be used in applications not exceeding 140 degrees F.Temperatures over this can cause softening of the material and weakening of joints.
