PVC is not only the most widely used polymer for cables, with a market share of 40%, but it is also a popular choice for cable conduits and ducts in various applications, including power distribution, telecommunications, and data centers.
These conduits and ducts protect wires and cables from physical damage and environmental factors such as moisture and dust, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. PVC cable conduits can be buried underground, providing a very long service life due to their durability and resistance to corrosion.
PVC conduits and ducts come in both corrugated and smooth designs. Smaller diameters (less than 25 mm) are typically used for general applications, while larger pipes (up to 250 mm) are common for underground cable protection, ensuring enhanced strength and durability in demanding conditions.
