Web Site Enhancements
Upgraded site allows for immediate notification of updates
CLEVELAND, January 30, 2008 – The Lubrizol Corporation (NYSE:LZ) announces several new enhancements to its FGG/BM/CZ System Compatible program Web site, www.systemcompatible.com. This new online initiative allows customers and end users of FlowGuard Gold®, BlazeMaster® and Corzan® pipe and fittings faster and easier access to program updates as well as a guide to help determine chemical compatibility.
The FGG/BM/CZ System Compatible program Web site takes users through step-by-step instructions to assist in determining chemical compatibility of materials that may come in contact with CPVC. The site also includes an online feedback form for direct communication and the opportunity to register for regular updates to the program and other chemical compatibility information. The system compatible program is continually updated to ensure the most accurate list of chemically compatible products. Registering for this service allows users immediate notification via email of the most up-to-date list of chemically compatible products and program information.
The FGG/BM/CZ System Compatible program, which began in 2001, tests and monitors ancillary products on an ongoing basis to ensure their chemical compatibility with Lubrizol CPVC piping systems.
All designated products qualify for the program by undergoing rigorous testing, which assures the product will not fail as a result of chemical incompatibility. Because CPVC products are made with base resins having different molecular weights and varying chlorine contents and compound additives, the FGG/BM/CZ System Compatible Program can verify chemical compatibility only with the products with which they have been tested.
Products in the program display the FGG/BM/CZ System Compatible mark on their label. This mark quickly assures installers that the product is chemically compatible with FlowGuard Gold, Corzan and BlazeMaster CPVC products. Only manufacturers that have passed these specific chemical compatibility tests are able to place the FGG/BM/CZ compatible mark on their product labels.
The FGG/BM/CZ System Compatible Program is the only known program of its kind in the industry designed to increase user confidence and help eliminate the guesswork about which products are chemically compatible. The program is in active use in the United States, Canada, Mexico, 25 European countries, the United Arab Emirates, India and China.
To learn about all the chemical compatible products in the program, call 888-234-2346, x4477393 or visit www.systemcompatible.com.
