AFL Plastics sa sister concern of PRAN-RFL group. The company was founded by Amjad Khan Chowdhury in 1981 with a
vision to leveraging the farmer in irrigation as well as ensuring drinking water through Water Pump & Tube well. After that
itcommenced its operation in different categories and starts plastics line in 2003. The factory sites are in company owned
industrial parks of 300,000 sq. meters including building area of 200,000 which is fully equipped with state of the art
injection & blow molding machines with a conversion capacity of over 10000 tons per month.
RFL Plastics currently utilizes 2300 molds through 300 machines having a growth rate of 20% over last year backed by own
tooling facilities in the factory premises. The behind growth story of this brand is expansion & availability of innovative &

RFL Plastic Ltd is very proud to introduce CHLORINATED POLY VINYL CHLORIDE [cPVC] for the first time into this part of the
globe, under license from Lubrizol, [formerly Noveon, USA] under brand name RFL FlowGuard cPVC. It is also
manufacturing Industrial Piping System under brand name RFL FlowGuard Plus cPVC.
Pipes are produced in copper tube size (CTS) from 15 mm (V/2") to 50 mm (2°) with two different standard dimensional
ratios - SDR-11 and SDR-13.5. The fittings are produced as per SDR 11. All RFL FlowGuard Plus cPVC SDR 11 and SDR 13.5,
pipes are made from identical cPVC compound material having same physical properties. The cPVC fittings are
manufactured from compound material which meets all the requirement as per ASTM standard. cPVC pipes of Copper
Tube Size (CTS) dimensions can also be applied to cPVC (IPS) dimensions by using IPS x CTS fittings. The CPVC pipes from
15mm (V2") to 50 mm (2") are also produced as per IS 15778 standard in both class that is Class 1 (SDR 11) and Class2 (SDR
135)
‘Apart from having the same physical properties, SDR 11 and SDR 13.5 which are having different wall thickness and
therefore, at any given temperature, they have different pressure ratings.

waa onWHY RFL FlowGuard Plus cPVC
WHY RFL FlowGuard Plus cPVC PIPE AND FITTINGS ARE THE BEST CHOICE FOR HOT AND
COLD POTABLE WATER DISTRIBUTION ?
THE RAW MATERIAL
RFL FlowGuardPlus is a Hot and Cold Potable Water Distribution
System made of chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (cPVC) for use in
single and multifamily homes, apartments, high-rises,
hote/motels and commercial installations. RFL FlowGuard Plus
‘PVC has been used for hot and cold water distribution in the
United States since 1960. It has a history of superior performance
and competitive prices compared to metal and other alternative
piping systems. RFL FlowGuard Plus cPVC pipe and fittings are
jointed by solvent cementing which, through chemical bonding,
‘essentially makes the pipe and fiting become one continuous
piece. RFL FlowguardTM cPVC meets requirements of both
ANSI/NSF standard 14-plastic piping system components and
related materials-and standard 61- Drinking Water System,
components-health affects. Included in these tests are strict
standards and strict toxicological review relating to chemical
extraction products, taste and odour produced in the water by the
piping system.BASIC PHYSICAL FEATURE

All Weld-On solvent cements, primers and cleaners meet the requirements for Low VOC (volatile
organic compound) emission limits established by the California South Coast Air Quality
Management District (SCAQMD), one of the USA's strictest air quality regulatory bodies. Low VOC
emissions contribute to cleaner air.
All Weld-On Low VOC solvent cements provide the following benefits:
+ High Quality Performance with excellent installation properties.
+ User Friendly. Reduced fumes and odour for the comfort and well being of pipe installers.
+ Meet ASTM Standards for solvent cements used for plastic pipe installation.
+ Environmentally Responsible. LEED® Compliant (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design).

‘Sond and ASTProperties & Advantages
Deterioration resistance
FL FlowGuard Plus cPVC Pipe gives excellent
resistance even under the harshest of water
conditions so there are none of the purity |g
worries from corrosion of metal pipe or
soldered joints. RFL FlowGuard Plus cPVC
Pipe keeps pure water pure.
Less bacterial growth
Bacteria build up with ¢PVC is far lower then
with alternative piping materials - Copper,
‘Steel and other thermoplastics.
No Seale, ditch or leach formation
Even after years of use in the most aggressive
conditions, AFL FlowGuard Plus ePVC pipe
wont corrode, standing up to low pH water,
coastal salt air exposures and corrosive soils
AFL FlowGuard Plus cPVC Plpe stays as solid
and reliable as the day it was installed. It
maintains full water carrying Capacity
because its scale resistance means no build
up to cause water pressure loss
Unaffected by chlorine in the water
Some materials may be adversely affected by
chlorine containedin the water supply which
‘an cause breakdown of the polymer chains
and potential leaks. In this respect, FL
FlowGuard Plus cPVC pipe Is unaffected by
the chlorine present in potable water supply.
Low fervid expansion
RERFL FlowGuard Plus cPVC pipe has a lower
coefficient of thermal expansion than
alternative plastics, reducing the amount that
the pipe expands when hot water is running,
again reducing unsightly looping ofthe pipe.Hot water suitable
