Piping Solutions for the Medical Industry

Lubrizol offers the medical industry a total piping solution for plumbing and fire sprinkler systems.   With a proven-reliable 50+ year track record, our FlowGuard Gold®, BlazeMaster® and Corzan® piping systems have been successfully installed in a variety of healthcare applications across the globe.  And, our most recent introduction - Corzan® HP pipe and fittings - offers even more benefits.  Corzan HP pipe has a 25% higher pressure rating than starndard CPVC at 180ºF (82ºC).  In addition, Corzan HP fittings are pressure-rated to the same rating as the pipe to make the Corzan HP system the first and only fully pressure rated schedule 40/80 piping system on the market today.

Cost- and safety-conscious owners, specifiers and installers choose our piping systems because they offer a unique combination of benefits unmatched by any other piping system on the market—all designed to maximize patient comfort and safety.

Specifically, our piping systems provide quieter operation so patients get the rest they need. Superior antimicrobial performance, as documented by multiple international studies, helps to minimize health complications for patients. Since our piping systems don’t scale or corrode, they don’t compromise water quality as a result of copper contamination. And even in some of the worst-case scenarios, our piping systems demonstrate a proven track record for outstanding flame and smoke characteristics. Especially important in retrofit situations is also the fact that our piping systems are joined with a fast, easy and safe installation process, which minimizes disruption to patient care.

Building owners and installers will likely realize an overall project cost savings resulting from stable material costs and lower labor costs. Since our piping systems are not susceptible to corrosion, they offer a highly reliable, low-maintenance performance which additionally benefits bottom lines. And since everyone benefits from environmentally sustainable projects and products, we are happy to report that our piping systems have lower energy requirements and fewer greenhouse gas emissions than other piping materials.

As the world leader in piping solutions, more than anything, we provide the medical industry with peace of mind — not only with piping products that consistently meet the highest quality standards, but also with the industry’s largest network of technical support specialists. When reliability, value and safety matter most, there is no better piping solution than one offered from Lubrizol.
