PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride

strong and rigid
resistant to a variety of acids and bases
may be damaged by some solvents and chlorinated hydrocarbons
maximum usable temperature 140^oF (60^oC)
usable for water, gas and drainage systems
not useable in hot water systems

CPVC - Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride

similar to PVC - but designed for water up to 180^oF (82^oC)
