The Lubrizol CPVC Piping Systems business announces the introduction of its new, advanced FLOWGUARD™ PLUS Pipe & Fittings to the Bangladesh plumbing industry. High performance FLOWGUARD™ PLUS plumbing pipe and fittings are engineered with Lubrizol's specially formulated chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC). Among the advanced features that FLOWGUARD™ PLUS delivers is a 25% higher pressure rating - 8.79 kg/cm2 @ 82° C, the highest of any CPVC pipe available.
FLOWGUARD™ PLUS is now being produced by Lubrizol's Bangladesh manufacturing partner, RFL Plastics Ltd., from CPVC compounds produced in Europe and the United States.

The plant is expected to begin compounding operations by end of 2015.
