Calpipe Industries' Calbond PVC-coated rigid steel and aluminum conduit and conduit fittings feature a 40-mil PVC exterior coating and a 2-mil urethane interior coating. The fittings are double-coated, both inside and out, with a 2 mil coating of urethane. The exterior is then coated again with a 40 mil PVC coating on top of the urethane. All fittings incorporate flexible overlapping sleeves that ensure a tight seal at every connection, a good fit for use in water and wastewater facilities. Calbond is UL listed and NEMA RN-1 compliant, with no exceptions, and is UL6 listed with both the zinc coating and PVC coating as primary protection against corrosion. These same industry standards reference the appropriate American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) test methods, including ASTM D2247-11, the standard practice for testing water resistance of coatings is 100 percent relative humidity, and ASTM D1308-02, the standard test method for effect of household chemicals on clear and pigmented organic finishes.
