Blazemaster CPVC | fire protection system | fire safety | on December 6th, 2021
Buildings do more than provide space for offices or residences. Buildings often become part of a city's culture and turn into a landmark. When you are building such invaluable structures, their safety deserves just as much thought as their design. A resilient and robust fire protection system is an integral part of a safe building.
Metal systems have been around for a long time, and they are more or less the norm in fire protection systems. Almost 95% of the fire sprinkler systems use MS and GI steel pipes.
When choosing the right fire protection system, builders often feel the need to choose between metal and CPVC systems. But this does need not have to be the case necessarily. Did you know that a combination of metal and BlazeMaster® CPVC pipes offer the best of both worlds?
Is There Something Better Than Metal or CPVC?
As a builder, it is understandable that you want the best fire protection for your buildings, both new and old. If your building already has a fire sprinkler system with metal pipes, then replacing it with CPVC might mean a significant amount of work. It can interfere with the lives of those in the building and cause a lot of disturbance. And while CPVC pipes are significantly more cost-effective than their metal counterparts in a new installation, replacing old metal pipes with newer CPVC when the metal pipes are not corroded merely adds to the cost. And the thought of reworking the existing system often deters builders from choosing a new product for the fire protection system.
BlazeMaster® has been in business long enough to understand the needs of the customers and respond accordingly. Hence, BlazeMaster® has developed a unique system that seamlessly integrates both metal and CPVC pipes. BlazeMaster® specifically trains installers to integrate BlazeMaster® CPVC pipes with existing metal pipes. The result is a superior fire protection system that combines the best of metal and CPVC.
It should come as no surprise that a Luxury hotel in Pune chose to use BlazeMaster® to ensure the safety of their guests.
What Are The Features of BlazeMaster® CPVC Pipes?
CPVC pipes or Chlorinated Poly Vinyl Chloride are thermoplastic pipes manufactured by chlorinating the PVC resin to create something more resistant to heat and pressure than regular PVC. CPVC is not a new material. It has been used since the 1960s, when Lubrizol commercialised its production and refined the manufacturing process to produce CPVC of exceptional quality. BlazeMaster®, a Lubrizol brand, has set up a network of licensed manufacturers across the globe who can create high-quality fire protection systems using BlazeMaster® CPVC pipes.
CPVC pipes combine the best of both steel and plastic pipes. They can be handled with ease and are low in weight. They are also resistant to corrosion caused by the chemicals present in the water in the sprinkler systems.
Where Can You Use BlazeMaster® CPVC Fire Protection System Along With Metal Pipes?
BlazeMaster® CPVC pipes have earned a reputation for being a world-class thermoplastic system. BlazeMaster® CPVC pipes have BIS's approval and have UL Listing for pipe material and fire protection. Since 1984, it has been the first choice for designers and consultants to provide fire protection to thousands of residents and business owners worldwide and is now being made in India.
BlazeMaster® can be used for non-industrial spaces such as hospitals, schools, hotels, office buildings, nursing homes, libraries, museums, residences, colleges, etc. The system is perfect for use in light hazard applications. These are spaces where the chances of a fire are relatively low. BlazeMaster® CPVC pipes are ideal for retrofitting the existing fire protection systems in these locations.
The fire is slow to develop in these spaces, and it often does not reach high temperatures. Well-known constructions such as the Sarla Industrial Park in Mumbai and a high-rise from one of Hyderabad's leading developers use BlazeMaster® CPVC pipes in their fire protection system.
Why Choose a Combination of Metal Pipes And BlazeMaster® CPVC Fire Protection System?
Let us learn about some of the benefits of using BlazeMaster® CPVC pipes.
Easy to Handle
BlazeMaster® CPVC pipes are not as heavy as metal pipes. Metal pipes require multiple personnel to carry and transport. A single person can handle BlazeMaster® CPVC pipes.
Easy to Install
Since these pipes are lower in weight, they are also easier to install. BlazeMaster® sends specially trained staff who can handle the installation with ease. Moreover, these pipes do not require welding. They can be joined by using a solvent mixture. The solvent mixture can be mixed on location, and it is easy to apply.
Stronger Joints
The joints on steel pipes are welded together. While welding does create strong joints, the joints are not strong enough and are often the first points of failure of the fire protection systems. The BlazeMaster® CPVC pipes are fused using a solvent that melts the pipes and joins them at a molecular level. Even when combining existing metal pipes with CPVC pipes, BlazeMaster® uses a technology that creates just as strong joints.
BlazeMaster is expanding its market to India and has set up manufacturing in India. You can give your buildings the BlazeMaster advantage by choosing our licensee, Ashirvad Pipes.
