Skipper Limited, a leading manufacturer of piping solutions in India, has announced the launch of Skipper FlowSafe® CPVC pipes, manufactured using TEMPRITE® CPVC technology developed by Lubrizol. The introduction of this product range marks a significant step in bringing globally recognised CPVC material technology to the Indian plumbing market.
The FlowSafe® CPVC pipe range has been developed to deliver improved reliability, safety, and performance across residential, commercial, and infrastructure plumbing systems. Manufactured using TEMPRITE® CPVC material, the pipes are designed to support safe water distribution while maintaining durability under demanding operating conditions.
CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) is widely used in modern plumbing systems due to its resistance to corrosion, ability to handle high temperatures, and long service life. The integration of TEMPRITE® technology enhances these characteristics by providing a material platform known for its strength, reliability, and stability in water delivery applications.
The launch comes at a time when demand for dependable plumbing infrastructure is increasing across India. With growing urbanisation, rising awareness about drinking water safety, and the need for long-lasting building infrastructure, the market for advanced piping systems has expanded significantly in recent years.
Skipper FlowSafe® CPVC pipes are designed to meet these evolving requirements by offering enhanced resistance to heat and pressure while maintaining hygienic water flow. The pipes are suitable for hot and cold water plumbing systems and are designed to deliver consistent performance in both domestic and commercial environments.
Commenting on the launch, Siddharth Bansal, Director – Skipper Pipes, said the introduction of FlowSafe® CPVC pipes reflects the company’s commitment to bringing internationally recognised plumbing technologies to the Indian market. He noted that the collaboration with Lubrizol combines Skipper’s manufacturing capabilities with TEMPRITE® CPVC technology, enabling the company to deliver high-performance piping solutions that meet modern construction and infrastructure needs.
According to Mr Bansal, the product range has been developed to provide long-term durability, enhanced safety for drinking water systems, and reduced maintenance requirements. The new line also supports Skipper’s broader objective of raising quality standards within the plumbing industry while offering reliable solutions for homeowners, builders, and infrastructure developers.
Lubrizol, which developed CPVC technology, has played a major role in advancing plumbing materials over the past several decades. Its CPVC systems have been used globally in millions of installations across residential buildings, commercial complexes, and industrial facilities.
The use of TEMPRITE® CPVC material in Skipper FlowSafe® pipes enables the company to offer plumbing products that align with international standards of safety and performance. The new pipe range provides several practical advantages for modern plumbing systems. The pipes are manufactured using NSF-certified CPVC material, ensuring suitability for potable water applications. They are also 100 percent lead-free, supporting safer water distribution.
Additional benefits include resistance to corrosion and microbial growth, which helps maintain water quality over time. The pipes also provide high resistance to heat and pressure, making them suitable for hot water systems and long-term plumbing use.
Their durable construction contributes to reduced maintenance requirements and extended product lifespan, helping lower lifecycle costs for building owners and infrastructure operators. With the introduction of FlowSafe® CPVC pipes, Skipper aims to strengthen its position in India’s rapidly growing polymer piping market.
