Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) is a measure of the expansion or contraction of a material as a result of changes in temperature. Most frequently it is provided as linear CTE but some times given as volumetric CTE.

The VPI CAST coating system is easy to apply and provides maximum design flexibility for coil designs while providing complete environmental protection.
Thermal conductivity is an important consideration in potting or casting electronic modules containing heat generating components. The heat being generated in operation by the various devices must be dissipated in order not to exceed the maximum operating temperature limit of the most sensitive component in the circuit.
In demanding electrical/electronic applications, thermosetting epoxies and polyurethanes may be used to bond components or hermetically seal the assemblies through a potting or casting process. In operation, these assemblies will experience some form of thermal cycling, whether it be through heat generation, or through an environmental temperature change.
An even better question is: Why be put into a position of having to replace a utility pole in the first place?
