What Is a uPVC Electrical Conduit?

uPVC (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride) is a hard plastic substance that is known for its excellent qualities and thus is used extensively in electrical installations:

  • Non-conductive and electrically safe
  • Corrosion and rust-free
  • Moisture and chemicals resistant
  • Lightweight and easy to install
  • Long service life in harsh climates

The physical damage, moisture, dust, chemicals, and accidental contact are blocked by an uPVC electrical conduit for the protection of the electrical wiring. This way, organized and durable wiring systems can be created.
