Electrical Equipment

Soft and rigid materials for electrical systems with adapted flame retardant for regulation compliance

ENCLOSURES AND JUNCTION BOXES

PVC-U’s intrinsically flame retardant and weather resistant features make it an excellent reference material for electrical enclosures and junction boxes.  

Specific VINIKA™ PVC-U injection grades offer impact resistance at low temperatures and provide an excellent thermoplastic solution for energy meter cabinets while being extensively exposed to UV.

VINIKA™ PVC-U is also offered for injected junction boxes together with VINIKA™ soft PVC-P for grommets.

GROMMETS AND CABLE GLAND

Thanks to excellent long term elastic recovery and rubber-like behavior providing a high coefficient of friction, TEFABLOC™ is offered for grommets and cable gland, with various flame retardant levels, matching up to 960°C glow wire testing.

WATER TIGHTNESS

For exposed material that requires a tight water resistance, TEFABLOC™ TPE range includes standard or flame retardant solutions in a wide range of hardness and with chemical compatibility to many other thermoplastics including PP and PA currently used for electrical equipment.
