Erico nVent Cadweld PLUS 90 F20 Exothermic Welding Material

The Erico nVent Cadweld PLUS 90 F20 is a professional-grade exothermic welding material engineered for creating permanent and highly reliable electrical connections. This product is specifically formulated for grounding and bonding applications, ensuring that joints maintain low electrical resistance and exceptional durability over time. Designed for seamless integration with the Cadweld PLUS system, it offers a standardized and efficient approach to welding copper conductors across diverse industrial and commercial infrastructure environments.

Advantages

This exothermic welding material provides a consistent and high-quality weld that effectively fuses copper conductors into a single, solid mass. Because the connection is molecularly bonded, it will not loosen or corrode over time, even when exposed to harsh environmental conditions or high-current surges. The Cadweld PLUS system enhances safety by utilizing an electronic ignition process, which eliminates the need for starting powder and reduces the risk of accidental ignition. This method ensures repeatable results and simplifies the installation process for technicians working on critical grounding systems.

Suitable for

• Grounding and bonding of copper conductors
• Industrial electrical infrastructure projects
• Commercial power distribution systems
• Lightning protection installations
• Railway and telecommunications grounding

This product may not be suitable for applications involving non-copper conductors or materials that cannot withstand the high temperatures generated during the exothermic reaction. It is also not intended for use in environments where open flames or high-heat processes are strictly prohibited by safety regulations.

Key specifications

• Welding material type: Exothermic
• Compatibility: Cadweld PLUS system
• Application: Copper-to-copper connections
• Connection type: Permanent molecular bond
• Ignition method: Electronic

How to use

To use the Erico nVent Cadweld PLUS 90 F20, ensure that the conductors are clean, dry, and properly positioned within the appropriate Cadweld mold. Place the welding material into the mold crucible according to the specific mold instructions. Connect the electronic ignition lead to the material cup and initiate the process using the Cadweld PLUS control unit. Once the reaction is complete, allow sufficient cooling time before opening the mold to inspect the finished weld.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify compatibility with your existing Cadweld mold size
• Ensure the conductors are compatible with exothermic welding
• Confirm that the electronic ignition controller is available
• Check local safety regulations for exothermic welding procedures

Usage recommendations

Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including heat-resistant gloves and eye protection, when performing exothermic welding. Ensure the work area is well-ventilated and free of flammable materials. Follow the specific mold manufacturer instructions to achieve the best results and maintain the integrity of the electrical connection.
