RectorSeal expands the availability of ClearDrain PVC for commercial and industrial HVAC/R applications, including grocery stores, convenience stores, refrigeration case drain routing, and rooftop units. ClearDrain PVC Commercial, like its residential counterpart, incorporates zinc in its manufacturing process. This results in a smooth, slippery inner wall that helps prevent the growth of bacteria and algae. The product is independently tested to ISO 22196:2011, and effective at preventing blockages caused by bacteria, known as white slime. It can reduce white slime growth by up to 98% or more, and slime-blocking bacteria growth by as much as 99.9%. This product is rated for refrigeration capacities of up to 20 tons and offers a complete lineup of fittings for routing refrigeration case drains.

For commercial facilities, ClearDrain PVC provides a one-time material upgrade that helps reduce reliance on chemical treatments, biocide tablets, and recurring maintenance programs. It also supports health code and food safety compliance, reduces slip-and-fall risks from drain overflows, and lowers the risk of water damage and service disruptions across store fleets and commercial facilities.
