ANDERSON CORP- Conduit
At ANDERSON CORP-Conduit, our commitment to sustainability, community, and the environment is unwavering. In line with this dedication, we are excited to introduce our latest innovation: Net Zero Conduit, designed to assist our customers in reducing their carbon footprint.
Traditional PVC conduit, once the standard for protecting underground electrical lines, is now outdated. Its high global warming potential, limited recyclability, and reliance on heavy metals such as lead, barium, and zinc are incompatible with our mission to create a safe environment for both wildlife and customers. Moreover, PVC's stiffness makes it vulnerable to fractures during seismic, thermal, or compressive events, and the oils used in its production often warrant a California Proposition 65 label for reportable chemicals.
In contrast, ANDERSON CORP-Conduit's Net Zero Conduit offers a multitude of advantages over traditional PVC:
· Reduced Environmental Impact: Boasting a global warming potential over 50% lower than PVC, Net Zero Conduit utilizes bio-based polymers that actively sequester carbon dioxide (CO2) from the environment.
· Safe Disposal: Any broken or replaced components can be safely disposed of in landfills since they do not contain chlorine or heavy metals.
· Enhanced Durability: Net Zero Conduit features significantly improved impact resistance, ensuring it withstands rough handling during installation and resists permanent deformation caused by seismic or overhead vehicular traffic.
· UV Resistance: State-of-the-art UV resistance allows Net Zero Conduit to perform flawlessly above ground, with no cracking due to sunlight exposure.
· Lightweight Design: Weighing 40% less than typical PVC, Net Zero Conduit not only reduces Scope 3 transportation emissions but also enhances safety for installers, making handling easier and minimizing the risk of injury.
· Zero-Halogen Flame Retardancy: Net Zero Conduit is equipped with zero-halogen flame retardancy, ensuring self-extinguishment in the presence of forest or structural fires.
Net Zero Conduit is readily available for stocking upon your approval. At ANDERSON CORP-Conduit, we eagerly anticipate the opportunity to welcome you as a partner in adopting this innovative and sustainable technology.
