How to Protect Your PVC Electric Conduit?
                     How to Protect Your PVC Electric 
Conduit?

PVC pipe that has been subjected to 
ultraviolet light for long periods of time 
loses any strength but not enough to cause 
a significant decrease in the capacity of 
the tube to withstand water pressure. 
Ultraviolet rays often cause changes in 
color to the outside of the tubing. You will 
avoid the problem by coating with an 
ultraviolet-resistant paint some PVC pipes 
in your house that are specifically exposed 
to the sun.
PVC electrical conduit exposure to the UV 
component of sunlight results in PVC 
molecules being permanently converted into 
a complex structure typified by polyene 
formations in the first.001 "to.002" of the 
exposed surface. The effect is a 
discolouration, also referred to as "Sun 
discolouration," "UV oxidation," or just 
"sunburn." The pipe's coating can shift first 
by losing shine, leading to chalking and 
discoloration. (Typically, discoloration will 
advance yellow to brown to black) UV 
discoloration will not arise when PVC is not 
exposed to sunlight, and will stop until 
exposure terminates.
The cycle of discoloration depends on time, 
and can be slowed down with the introduction 
of UV absorbers in the PVC electrical conduit 
mix.
The degree to which sunlight influences 
impact intensity depends on a number of 
factors, including: exposure time, climatic 
conditions, pipe width, pipe wall thickness and 
form of PVC compound used. It is difficult to 
predict how long it will take before the results 
of exposure to sunlight are apparent owing to 
the combination of the variables. In fact, 
smaller-diameter and thinner-wall pipes will 
have more benefit from exposure to sunlight 
than bigger, thicker-walled pipes. 
For permanent structures of 
plastic pipe Karachi above ground, it is 
advised to shield the pipe from exposure to 
sunlight. This can be achieved by covering 
the tubing or, more generally, coating it with 
an opaque content. When painting the tubing, 
it is advised to use a water-based paint 
designed for exterior use. Oil or solvent-based 
paints may cause damage to the pipe and/or 
fail to stick well. White or light-colored paints 
are best suited to minimize heat build-up.
   Indoor or under-cover storage may provide this. 
If the commodity is to be processed outside, it 
should prevent heat trapping. Any plastic wrap 
used to secure the shipment during transit 
should be removed before placement of the 
product in storage outside. Never store pipe or 
fittings next to buildings that have direct 
exposure to sunlight, particularly in summer 
months. Do not store heat-generating equipment 
near the pipe or fittings.
Due to excessive heat build-up, the 
pipe or fittings can deform. Pipe or 
fittings can be partially concealed 
with a suitable material such as a 
white tarp or burlap. Black plastic 
should never be used because of its 
characteristics which generate heat.
