Incompatible Products
How to Determine Chemical Compatibility:
To avoid damage to the pipe and fittings, ancillary construction products coming into direct contact with FlowGuard®, BlazeMaster®, Corzan®, or products made with TempRite® Technology must be chemically compatible. Lubrizol recommends that the compatibility of ancillary products be confirmed with that product’s manufacturer prior to use.
The following products have been found to be incompatible with FlowGuard, BlazeMaster, Corzan, and products made with TempRite Technology. Please note: a product’s absence from this list does not mean that it is compatible. Products in this list are designated with numerals to clarify the reason they are listed as incompatible. The numerical designations are defined as follows:
| Compatibility Designation |
Description |
| 1 |
These products were reported to have been used at the site of one or more failed piping systems, and upon further investigation were found to contain the same ingredient(s) which were identified as having caused or contributed to the reported failure. |
| 2 |
These products have been determined to be incompatible based on laboratory testing conducted by Lubrizol. |
| 3 |
These products have been determined to be incompatible based on compositional information found in the manufacturer’s labeling or published literature. One or more ingredients reported by the manufacturer is the same as or chemically similar to ingredients identified as having caused or contributed to piping system failure with similar products (the products designated with a 1). |
| 4 |
These products have recommendations in their manufacturer’s published literature not to use them with CPVC. This may not necessarily reflect their compatibility status. They are nevertheless listed here because, as reported by the manufacturer, they should not be used with CPVC. |
INCOMPATIBLE PRODUCTS
Do not use the products below with FlowGuard pipe &
fittings, BlazeMaster fire sprinkler systems, Corzan industrial systems, and products made with TempRite Technology. If
you have any questions about chemical compatibility, contact the product
manufacturer for more information.

Legal Disclaimer
The FBC™ System Compatible Program is a
resource made available to manufacturers of ancillary products intended to be
used with CPVC to help determine whether a product is chemically compatible with
Lubrizol Advanced Materials' FlowGuard®, BlazeMaster®, Corzan®, and products made with TempRite Technology. Other
manufacturers and/or brands of CPVC piping have not been tested as part of the
FBC System Compatible Program. The FBC System Compatible program is,
therefore, only applicable to the chemical compatibility of ancillary products
with the Lubrizol Advanced Materials brands of FlowGuard, BlazeMaster, Corzan, and products made with TempRite Technology. This distinction is made because every brand of CPVC piping is made
with unique compounds, some of which may contain resins with different molecular
weights and varying chlorine content. These characteristics directly impact the
performance of the resulting product. Similarly, various CPVC products contain
different performance additives. This too affects the performance
characteristics of the ancillary product. For these reasons, Lubrizol Advanced Materials has no
responsibility for any failures occurring as a result of using products in the
FBC System Compatible Program with CPVC products other than FlowGuard,
BlazeMaster, Corzan, and products made with TempRite Technology.
