Plastic Cable Carrier Material Properties

The standard material of impact modified, glass-reinforced plastic offers durability and high speed capability. Most carriers are also available in specialty materials for challenging applications with diverse demands, such as extremely low wear, severe temperatures and environments, unique chemical resistance, specialty flammability ratings and explosion proof-requirements.

Standard Color: Black
Admissible Operating Temperatures: -40° F to +250° F (-40° C to +121° C)
Short Term Temperature Limit: +392°F (+200°C)
