In addition to the legal requirements that apply to all of our coatings (PFOA FREE, LEAD FREE, and CADMIUM FREE), many independent laboratories perform routine inspections. This implies that in addition to providing you with robust, long-lasting coatings and high-quality, non-toxic products, we also promise to be more environmentally friendly.
PVC, or polyvinyl chlorideThe most popular type of halogen-containing (or modified with halogen-containing flame retardants) polymer materials used to make ordinary flame-retardant wire, cable, insulation, and sheathing is polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
In contrast to numerous other plastic materials, polypropylene is entirely non-toxic, even when fully burned, therefore there is no risk of smoke or fumes. However, goods made of polypropylene should never come into contact with an open flame.
The only monomers of EP (EP copolymer, also known as EPM) are propylene and ethylene. Ethylene, propylene, and a third monomer known as a diene make up EPDM (also known as EP terpolymer, or EPT). Although there are three distinct dienes in use today, debating their distinctions would get very technical and academic.
The Unknown Drawbacks of EPDM RoofingBecause the roofing membrane is usually black in color, heat from the sun is absorbed by it, making it challenging to keep a structure cool during the summer. While selecting a white EPDM membrane is a possibility, the cost can be higher than for the conventional black choice.
The standard material for pneumatics and hydraulics is NBR. Grease, water, air, fats, animal and vegetable oils, flame-retardant liquids (HFA, HFB, and HFC), and oil-based hydraulic fluids are all resistant to NBR. There are specific low-temperature compounds made for fluids based on mineral oil.
Nitrile rubber, or NBR.The lowest working temperature can drop to -30°C/-22°F (suitably formulated NBR can be used as low as to -50°C/-58°F), however the maximum operating temperature is restricted to +100°C/212°F (for a brief period of time up to 120°C/248°F) due to the unsaturated polymer chain.
Its primary characteristic is its exceptional heat resistance, reaching Class A fire resistance (950–1000°C). Fire Rated Cable often uses PVC, PE, or XLPE as its insulating material; however, PE and XLPE perform better than PVC.
It is said that a significant increase of LLDPE (30–40%) can [enhance the resistance of LDPE." Additionally, compared to LDPE, LLDPE has a stronger tensile strength and better resistance to punctures (Robertson, G.L., 2006).
HDPE exhibits strength and low weight.HDPE is a good material for inter-material replacement of heavier materials because of its exceptional strength to weight ratio; this leads to less solid waste by weight and a more sustainable solution.
