Material Calaba Electrical Accessories are manufactured from unplasticized polyvinyl chloride polymer (uPVC).
The basic material of uPVC is PVC which is made from vinyl chloride monomer usually known by its initials VCM
through polymerisation. Hence, it is rigid.

Advantages
Resistance to compression uPVC material has structural flexibility that allow the material to withstand
substantial deformation without permanent distortion even in the wall, in the concrete and underground.
Resistance against corrosion PVC is immune to damage from naturally corrosive soil conditions, as
well as electrochemical and galvanic corrosion. This ensures lower maintenance costs and superior performance
in the long run.
Fire Resistant uPVC conduit system is inherently difficult to ignite. If the ignition source is withdrawn, it will stop
burning. Heat production is comparatively low making it particularly suitable for electrical wiring, electrical protection of
the insulated conductors and cables therein contained.
