Safely Extending Performance Life of PVC Coated Conduit in Demanding Applications

Corrosion is a costly problem that destroys the physical integrity of conduit and fittings, causing substantial and expensive damage. When metal conduit is installed in an area defined as both hazardous and corrosive, special considerations must be given to the selection of conduit system materials. This paper discusses the ETL-verification and UL-6 standard testing that ensures proper PVC coating adhesion for long term conduit system protection, in hazardous and corrosive environments.
