Noveon expands capacity at facility in Peachtree City

Noveon, a subsidiary of The Lubrizol Corporation and a global leader in chlorinated polyvinyl technology, has embarked on a compound expansion at its new TempRite Products facility in Peachtree City. This facility will be an integrated CPVC and cross-linked polyethylene manufacturing location and is designed for multiple capacity expansions.

"The facility was built to improve service levels and increase our CPVC powder compounding capabilities in order to supply customers around the world with our CPVC and PEX compounds," said plant manager Bill Daniels.�"While the world is forever changing one thing remains the same, customers want quality products delivered quickly. This expansion will enable us to continue our commitment to producing very high quality compounds in an efficient plant and to accelerate growth into new areas of the world."

Simultaneously, the Louisville manufacturing plant is completing an investment in a new, state-of-the-art control system to further increase CPVC resin and compounding capacity at the core facility. Further, additional resin capacity will be added to supply the new compounding assets.

"These expansions will aid in maintaining Noveon's position in the CPVC industry", said Andy Auvil, senior vice president and general manager of�TempRite Products. "For those customers that require a flexible plumbing system, our PEX products offer pipe extruders and customers a defense against UV or chlorine attack. We envision substantial growth in these products which complement the long, reliable history of our CPVC systems."

Noveon CPVC compounds are sold to licensed manufacturers who produce pipe and fittings sold under the tradenames of FlowGuard Gold, BlazeMaster and Corzan. FlowGuard Gold pipe and fittings are used in potable water systems, BlazeMaster pipe and fittings are used in fire sprinkler systems, and Corzan pipe and fittings are used in industrial piping applications as well as water distribution systems in commercial applications. Noveon PEX compounds are used in the manufacturing of PEX pipe and sold under the TempRite tradename.
