With this association, Skipper’s CPVC product line will now incorporate Lubrizol’s renowned Temprite Technology (TEMPRITE® is a trademark of Lubrizol Advanced Materials, Inc), widely recognized for its durability, safety and proven performance in plumbing systems worldwide.

This alliance empowers Skipper to offer advanced piping systems designed for high thermal and pressure endurance, protection against corrosion and microbial growth, and completely lead-free water flow—ensuring clean, safe delivery of water in every application. The collaboration highlights Skipper’s commitment to uncompromised quality, perfectly mirroring Lubrizol’s long-standing legacy of material innovation. Both companies share the common goal of elevating India’s plumbing ecosystem to meet international benchmarks of safety, hygiene and efficiency.

With the inclusion of Lubrizol’s Temprite® CPVC in Skipper’s product range, users receive piping systems crafted to meet stringent global safety norms. The NSF-certified material maintains the purity of drinking water while its corrosion-resistant and microbe-shielding properties ensure that water remains uncontaminated throughout its journey. Its lead-free composition further strengthens its suitability for households and commercial spaces that prioritize health and hygiene.

Designed to withstand demanding conditions, Temprite® CPVC offers superior resistance to both heat and pressure variations, making it reliable for everyday and high-stress applications alike. Its durable build significantly reduces upkeep requirements, providing longer service life with minimal maintenance—offering customers a dependable, efficient and cost-effective plumbing solution. These advantages not only raise the bar for user safety but also help reduce water losses and ongoing maintenance costs, making Skipper’s Temprite-powered solutions an environmentally conscious choice.
