For more than 90 years, the Lubrizol Corporation, a Berkshire Hathaway company, has been delivering science to improve lives. The 8,800 global employees today continue to invent solutions that are used every day in products used by people around the world. The organization consists of two segments: Additives and Advanced Materials.
Lubrizol Additives works with customers and OEMs to overcome the most challenging issues facing consumers by engine oil additives, power line applications, gasoline and diesel fuel, other transport-related fluids and industrial lubricants.
Lubrizol provides one of the most comprehensive lines of performance additives used to manufacture lubricants for hydraulic, automotive, turbine, grease, metal processing and metal safety applications. Our portfolio includes Chemtool Integrated, a manufacturer of specialized grease; and CPI Fluid Engineering, a provider of synthetic and mineral oil-based fluids for refrigeration, food processing and industrial applications, including Paratherm heat transfer fluids.
Lubrizol is a main partner for the world’s leading oil marketers and OEMs. We drive the development of lubrication solutions designed for cars and light trucks, bikes, recreational vehicles and power tools. With a global network and a deep understanding of markets around the world, Lubrizol offers the solutions and insights required to consistently meet the ever-changing performance requirements for vehicles and equipment that customers rely on every day.
You are likely to touch Lubrizol Advanced Materials items every day. They’re in the shampoos and soaps you use, the clothes you wear…and much more. As an innovation pioneer, the company utilizes key polymer, surface active chemistries, and formulations to develop patented, high-performance products for consumers in a wide variety of industries to help customers stay ahead of their customers’ needs.
The thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) resin of Lubrizol bridges the difference between elastic, flexible rubber and rigid plastics. TPU is a highly flexible elastomer or polymer that can be used in the processes of film and sheet, extrusion, blow molding, injection molding, overmolding, calendarization, adhesives, and solution coating.

BlazeMaster® fire protection systems are the most specified non-metallic fire sprinkler systems in the world.
FlowGuard® pipe and fittings are made of high-performance chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) and offer a unique combination of benefits.
Corzan® commercial and industrial systems are specially made to meet high-temperature and high-pressure demands of most piping systems.
Lubrizol is a single-source supplier of polymer technologies designed to address the toughest construction and manufacturing problems of today and is an innovator and a global leader in resins and compounds of chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC).
Lubrizol CPVC piping systems are designed for a wide range of applications with billions of feet installed globally, including plumbing, fire protection and industrial systems. All of Lubrizol’s CPVC piping systems are backed by extensive research and development capabilities and Lubrizol’s piping system consultants’ technological experience.
Lubrizol’s knowledge of CPVC resin, CPVC compounding, and CPVC processing expands the potential uses of CPVC molding compounds beyond traditional applications. The CPVC resin itself has excellent heat and chemical resistance. Lubrizol gets the most out of the CPVC molecule through decades of synthesis and process improvement, optimizing the properties of the base resin, and reducing variability in the final compound.
By controlling the resin production, Lubrizol provides itself a strong and consistent basis on which to build its compounds. Lubrizol’s compounding expertise brings versatility to the CPVC resin base.
Without the help of flame retardants and smoke inhibitors, Lubrizol CPVC inherently exhibits outstanding fire performance characteristics in terms of limited flame propagation and low smoke generation.
When coupled with its excellent balance of mechanical strength, low thermal conductivity and outstanding corrosion resistance, Lubrizol CPVC provides excellent safety and performance in a wide range of applications.
No single test method exists to consistently predict the abrasion resistance of a material to the broad range of potentially abrasive conditions.
As a result, the best guide in selecting materials for abrasive service is past experience. Lubrizol CPVC has a history of use in abrasive environments such as mining and mineral processing.
Depending on the specific application, prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause a gradual reduction in the material’s properties. Lubrizol CPVC is formulated to protect the polymer backbone from the effects of ultraviolet radiation.
If the specific installation requires additional protection from UV exposure, Lubrizol CPVC can be painted with common acrylic latex paint or be coated with a cap layer.
Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) was pioneered by the Lubrizol Corporation in 1959 for use in piping systems. CPVC is a strong, durable plastic material that has been used successfully for more than 50 years in plumbing applications around the world.
The inherent chemical strength, durability, and capacity of CPVC to withstand high heat and pressure make it an ideal material for residential, commercial, and even industrial piping systems.
For Plumbing systems, Lubrizol serves CPVC pipes and CPVC fittings under the name of FlowGuard®.
One of the safest, most efficient, and cost-effective plumbing solutions on the market is FlowGuard® plumbing systems. In residential and commercial buildings across the globe, billions of meters of FlowGuard® CPVC have been built.
