Superior performance of CPVC industrial pipes in the pharmaceutical industry

Because of its particularity and the special requirements of drug sterility, the pipeline system that comes into direct contact with materials or drugs plays a very important role in controlling and preventing microorganisms. Therefore, the selection of materials and installation of the pipeline system has become the top priority that cannot be ignored.

Pipeline systems in the pharmaceutical industry can be divided into water systems, pure steam systems, liquid distribution systems and clean gas systems according to the medium. Among them, the water system also includes purified water, injection water, softened water, etc. Different media have different requirements for the pipeline system, but in general, they will include materials, standards, dead Angle control, slope requirements and cleaning and sterilization method selection.

At present, the more widely used material in medical engineering is sanitary stainless steel pipe, but the long-term use of metal materials is easy to corrod and form dead corners. Dead space is a breeding ground for microbes. The presence of dead space leads to microbial growth and the formation of "biofilms", which house deadly bacteria such as Legionella, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas and have the most direct impact on the quality of medicines.
The CPVC industrial pipeline is better than other pipe materials on the formation of anti-biofilm materials, the chlorine content of CPVC raw material resin is as high as 65-72%, CPVC pipeline has antibacterial and excellent oxidation resistance, the tube is not easy to breed bacteria, in line with the national standards for water-related sanitation products, can be used in the field of direct drinking water and medical health.

There are many ways to clean and sterilize pharmaceutical water systems and liquid dispensing systems, including pasteurization, ozone disinfection, UV lamp sterilization, superhot water sterilization, pure steam sterilization and chemical agent disinfection, etc. In the disinfection process, the pipeline materials are densely exposed to disinfectants, and these solvents will cause damage to the pipeline system of common materials and increase maintenance costs. CPVC superior chemical corrosion resistance, can be used to deal with a variety of high-concentration chemical disinfectants, long-term use of the pipeline wall smooth, no scaling, no pipeline secondary pollution.

On the other hand, CPVC not only has low installation costs, but also low maintenance costs. Compared with metal materials, the material cost of CPVC is relatively stable. The fast and convenient cold melt connection method also has lower labor costs than labor-intensive metal welding.

The pipeline system in the pharmaceutical industry is a relatively specialized system, and it is important to consider the long-term results when choosing a pipeline system. CPVC industrial pipeline systems can not only reduce the overall cost, but also ensure that the long-term operation of the pipeline system has no impact on the production process.
