Lubrizol’s Louisville, Kentucky, plant introduced LED-based chlorination technology to advance CPVC manufacturing.
The upgrade improves thermal stability, energy efficiency, production flexibility, and color performance while reducing downtime.
The project demonstrates how process innovation can strengthen product quality and support more sustainable manufacturing.

Our Louisville plant team introduced a significant advancement in CPVC manufacturing with the installation of LED-based chlorination technology, the first of its kind within our global network. This next-generation reactor system reflects our continued focus on improving product performance, enhancing manufacturing efficiency, and reducing the environmental impact of our operations.

Thermal stability is one of the most important requirements in CPVC resin production, and industry expectations have continued to rise. Our LED chlorination upgrade delivers notable improvements in thermal stability and energy efficiency, strengthening our technical leadership while supporting more sustainable production.

The technology also improves how we operate day to day. With LED chlorination, we are able to run longer production cycles with less downtime, adjust formulations more flexibly, and enhance color performance. These improvements help us better meet customer needs by supporting faster and more reliable processing.
