Reason One:
Product Performance
PERFORMANCE MATTERS!
Seven reasons why you should trust the proven value
of Plasti-Bond PVC-coated galvanized rigid conduit.
Overview
Plasti-Bond ensures premium corrosion
protection without a premium price.
You deserve the corrosion protection you pay for.
ETL PVC-001 Veried Plasti-Bond has been
independently proven to provide ten or more times
the protective product service life when compared
to other brands --- and at no added cost.
Ten times the proven protection from the high cost
of corrosion damage.
AT NO AD
Ten times the proven protection against huge risks
from premature product or system failures caused
by subpar conduit quality.
AT NO ADDED COST.
DED COST.

Why Adhesion is Critical
PERFORMANCE MATTERS!
Plasti-Bond works because its coating adheres.
Not all brands can make that claim.

Overview
When the PVC coating on galvanized rigid conduit
adheres --- the product will successfully protect the
steel substrate from corrosion damage.
When the PVC coating doesn’t adhere properly the
product will fail. It’s as simple as that.
All coatings are permeable, but those that have a
strong adhesive bond will not allow the substrate
to be exposed to the environmental elements.
This graphic illustrates the tendency of the
competitive coating to lose adhesion. The result
is that moisture penetrates, creates voids or
pockets, and puts the metal substrate in direct
contact with corrosive elements.
This pocket actually accelerates corrosion
it traps the contaminates between the coating and
substrate. The life span of coated conduit
becomes limited and failure is only a matter of
time. Don't allow this to happen to your conduit.

Overview
Why Adhesion is Critical
PERFORMANCE MATTERS!
Plasti-Bond works because its coating adheres.
Not all brands can make that claim.
Although there’s a clear distinction between
success and failure, not all manufacturers have
achieved a consistent level of reliable bonding.
Plasti-Bond has.
Need proof? Seeing is believing.
In side-by-side performance comparisons these
two conduit samples were exposed for the same
number of test hours in boiling water.
Why boiling water?
Because the single most important measure of
product success is wh
coating will adhere to the steel substrate of the
ether or not the PVC
conduit, thereby protecting it from corrosion.
ASTM-accepted accelerated tests in environments
such as the boiling water clearly differentiate
which coatings perform best. Plasti-Bond has
been proven reliable even in such extreme
environments, so imagine how well it will perform
in diverse on-the-job applications.
When cuts are made in
the PVC of the
competitor’s sample --and the tab of coating is
then pulled with pliers --the adhesive bonding
fails entirely and
separates completely
from the steel substrate
it is supposed to
protect.

Why Adhesion is Critical
PERFORMANCE MATTERS!
Plasti-Bond works because its coating adheres.
Not all brands can make that claim.
When the same
procedure is applied to
Plasti-Bond (right), the
PVC breaks away from
itself and does not
expose the substrate
--- thereby preserving
the all-important bond
that ghts corrosion.

Adhesive Bond is Stronger
