CPVC compounds intended for low shear extrusion, for example of piping, and articles such as piping derived therefrom are disclosed. The compounds comprise CPVC having 69% to 74% by weight chlorine and preferably 65% to about 69% chlorine; an acrylic impact modifier and a first chlorinated polyethylene containing from about 32% to about 37% chlorine by weight and a Mooney viscosity from 25 to 45, and a second CPE containing from about 36 to about 42% chlorine and a Mooney viscosity of from 60 to about 95. Compression molded plaques derived from the powder composition exhibit a good balance of tensile strength, tensile modulus, izod impact strength, HDT and dynamic thermal stability specified herein. A pipe extruded directly from said composition in powder form under ASTM-D2846 exhibits a long term hydrostatic design strength of at least 500 psi at 200 DEG F. The invention is useful, for example, for industrial use applications such as steam condensate lines.
