Eliminate the Guesswork Associated with Chemical Compatibility

BlazeMaster^® CPVC Fire Protection Systems are a proven reliable choice for fire sprinkler systems in residential and commercial buildings. Installation is quick and easy, and it saves time and money compared to steel piping.

However, CPVC can be damaged by contact with chemicals found in some ancillary construction products. To ease the burden associated with researching and selecting accompanying construction products, Lubrizol developed the FBC™ System Compatible Program. All products that have gone through the rigorous testing and are proven to be chemically compatible with BlazeMaster CPVC display the Program’s trademarked logo on their label. The Program also includes ancillary products that are incompatible and should not be used with Lubrizol’s CPVC.

Known Incompatible Materials

In the UK, the following three products are readily available fire stopping systems commonly used by installers; however, these products are incompatible with BlazeMaster CPVC, and should be avoided:

• Everbuild - Fire Mate Sealant C3.
• BritChem Limited - F.R. Intumescent Acoustic Acrylic Sealant.
• No Nonsense Limited - No Nonsense Intumescent Acrylic.

Consider the following BlazeMaster CPVC-approved sealants instead:

• FSi Limited - Pyropro HPE® Sealant
• ROCKWOOL Limited - FirePro® Firestop High Expansion Intumescent Sealant

How to Find Compatible Materials to Use With Your BlazeMaster Fire Protection System

Look for the “FBC System Compatible” logo on other ancillary product labels or packaging to quickly identify which products are chemically compatible with BlazeMaster CPVC.  But, keep in mind that just because a product isn’t on the list doesn’t mean it’s guaranteed to be compatible with BlazeMaster CPVC.
