Q: Can you do color matching?
A: Yes. Our engineers at Caplugs can assist you in finding the perfect color.
Q: Can I get parts in another color?
A: Our catalog parts are stocked in different standard colors. If your looking for a color other than the stock color we will be there to assist your needs.
Q: What is the best material and color for outdoor use?
A: Low density polyethylene material in the color black would work best for outdoor applications. This color offers resistance to UV rays as it acts as a natural UV stabilizer with 2% carbon-loading. Please request assistance from our Technical Sales department for this type of application because there may be other options based on climate.

A: Caplugs are available in low density polyethylene, high density polyethylene, polypropylene, flex temp, vinyl, Flex500, paper, silicone rubber, aluminum, conductive and static dissipative materials. Not all Caplugs shapes are available in each material; consult your catalog to find out which materials are available for the cap or plug you are interested in.
Q: What is the range of heat that Caplugs can withstand?
A: Low density polyethylene is rated up to 150oF; Aluminum is rated up to 650oF. Caplugs offers several materials in between these ratings. Contact our Technical Sales Department for more detailed information.
