- Consistent hydraulic efficiency ensures optimal fire suppression performance
- Inherent flame resistance reduces fire spread and improves safety
- Simplified installation process results in quicker project completion
The unique composition of BlazeMaster CPVC enhances its suitability for fire protection applications, leading to superior performance in various conditions.
Lightweight and Durable
Unlike traditional materials like steel, BlazeMaster CPVC is exceptionally lightweight. This characteristic allows for easier handling and installation, reducing labor costs without compromising structural integrity.
Corrosion Resistance
BlazeMaster CPVC is inherently resistant to corrosion and pitting, ensuring a longer lifespan of the sprinkler pipework. Traditional metal pipes can degrade over time due to rust and other environmental factors, while BlazeMaster CPVC maintains its integrity.
Hydraulic Efficiency
The material's C-factor remains consistently high, eliminating maintenance interruptions caused by scaling and corrosion. With a C-factor of 150, BlazeMaster CPVC piping allows optimal flow rates, a key advantage over steel pipes, which deteriorate performance over time.
Flame Behaviour
BlazeMaster CPVC won't sustain a flame, self-extinguishing when the flame is removed from the pipe material, minimising fire spread and smoke generation.
Ease of Installation
Installing BlazeMaster CPVC involves fewer heavy materials and less complex equipment compared to metal systems. The solvent-welded joints secure connections quickly and effectively, vastly improving the installation timeline.
How is BlazeMaster CPVC Engineered for Safety?
- Enhanced durability promotes long-term compliance
- Material strength assists in effective fire suppression
- Compliance with critical fire safety codes
- Limited smoke production creates a safer environment
Each of BlazeMaster CPVC’s standout properties provide direct safety benefits that support higher standards in building fire protection.
Durability Ensures Compliance
The corrosion resistance of BlazeMaster CPVC means that systems can stay operational for longer, without significant degradation. This longevity aids in compliance with safety regulations, ensuring the system functions reliably when needed most.
Effective Fire Control
The high C-factor allows for rapid response during a fire incident, ensuring that adequate water reaches the affected areas quickly. This rapid suppression can significantly reduce the potential for extensive damage and casualties.
Updated Regulatory Compliance
BlazeMaster CPVC aligns with building regulations like BS 9251, ensuring that systems meet updated codes. The material's certifications reflect its reliability in critical installations, supporting legislative compliance.
Minimal Smoke Hazard
The reduced smoke generation from BlazeMaster CPVC during a fire contributes to a safer evacuation environment, diminishing the risk of smoke inhalation and associated hazards.
