Corrosion — the enemy of electrical systems
— costs an estimated $2.1 billion annually in lost
equipment, plus labor and downtime. Problems
caused by corrosion include:
• Equipment failure and shortened life
• Poor electrical system reliability caused
by high-resistance connections
• Long maintenance repair time due to corroded parts
• Safety hazards and product contamination
Harsh environmental factors inherent in mining and
metallurgy applications — such as liquid and dirt
ingress, heat, vibration and shock — can greatly
accelerate corrosion and cause failures in the
electrical and automation systems if not properly
addressed. Thomas & Betts solutions are made with
corrosion-resistant materials to extend the life and
reliability of your electrical system. Our aluminum,
stainless steel, specialty alloy, and PVC or PVC-
coated products are the solutions to your
corrosion issues.
OCAL-BLUE® PVC-Coated Conduit
• PVC-coated, hot-dipped galvanized conduit and threads
• Provides superior corrosion protection against many
harmful elements
• Interior blue polyurethane provides corrosion protection
around cables
Ty-Rap®
Stainless Steel
Cable Ties
Stainless Steel Cable Ties
