TempRite® CPVC in Electrical Applications

TempRite® CPVC offers profile extrusion compounds with select compounds adding a UL-recognized relative thermal index (RTI) rating of 105°C with impact. TempRite CPVC materials for electrical applications also have a UL 94 5Va performance rating for applications requiring low flame spread, criteria commonly required for electrical and electronics applications such as track lighting. TempRite CPVC products are also ideal for other applications, such as the office furniture components, and can be substituted for metal in electrical raceways for lights positioned above modular workspaces.

Easy to process, TempRite CPVC materials feature low die swells for near net-shape tools and expedited balancing, allowing PVC processors to use most of their existing tooling and downstream equipment. Melt temperatures similar to PVC and excellent metal release promote longer run life, reducing manufacturing costs.

TempRite CPVC compounds also reduce processing costs by exercising tight dimensional tolerances during the processing of complicated shapes and multiple polymer layer extrusion, which promote part consolidation.

Offering a broad processing window, TempRite CPVC materials produce consistent-looking parts in both high- and low-shear conditions. A polished finish provides an end-use part with a high-quality appearance.
