Breakthrough stability, faster cycle times and improved sustainability further Lubrizol’s technical and global CPVC manufacturing leadership
● Lubrizol introduces LED reactor technology at the company's Louisville, Kentucky, plant, boosting CPVC resin stability, efficiency and sustainability
● LED chlorination enables longer production runs and formulation flexibility while supporting improved color performance
● First installation lays the foundation for wider adoption across Lubrizol's global CPVC manufacturing footprint
HZ info，CLEVELAND, Ohio – Lubrizol today announced a major advancement in its CPVC manufacturing with the introduction of LED reactor technology at the company’s Louisville, Kentucky plant. This next？generation manufacturing approach delivers improvement in CPVC resin quality and processing efficiency, reinforcing Lubrizol’s technical resin leadership and enabling greater operational flexibility to meet global demand.
Thermal stability has long been a critical performance driver in CPVC resin manufacturing. In recent years, CPVC resin stability demands across the industry have increased. The LED chlorination upgrade represents a breakthrough, demonstrating significant improvements in thermal stability and energy efficiency, improving sustainable production. The process also provides operational benefits to customers, including enabling longer production runs with less down time, increasing formulation flexibility and supporting improved color performance.
“This technology represents a pivotal moment for our CPVC business,” said Griffin Rial, Vice President, Lubrizol TempRite. “LED chlorination allows us to deliver meaningful performance improvements—greater thermal stability, faster customer process times, and improved sustainability—while enabling new levels of operational flexibility across our global manufacturing network. The Louisville installation will bring lasting benefits to our customers and position Lubrizol for continued leadership in the CPVC industry.”
The Louisville installation serves as Lubrizol’s first for LED chlorination in CPVC resin production. The efficiency and performance gains will enable Lubrizol to flex production between making more products faster or enhancing stability as market needs evolve—further supporting growth in demanding applications and markets around the world. This innovative step lays the foundation for wider global adoption of LED chlorination technology across Lubrizol’s CPVC manufacturing footprint.
