General material characteristics: ThermaSmart is an innovative material based on thermoplastic elastomeric foams. It has a closed cell structure and remains flexible within the total temperature range of -80°C to +95°C.
The material is definitely stronger than other traditional elastomers and has a better resistance against outside influences. Additionally ThermaSmart is UV resistant and is therefore suitable for indoor and outdoor applications.
Environmental friendly:
·
completely recyclable
·
free of (H)CFC‘s
·
complies with highest ecological standards
·
Ozone Depletion Potential and Global Warming Potential = 0
Fire and smoke behaviour:
·
complies with the most stringentEuropean Standards
·
smoke index (D=1,5 m-1): significantly lower than other elastomers
·
hardly any toxic fumes during combustion
UV/ weathering-resistance:
·
built in UV protection
·
weathering resistance 5 -10 times higher compared to other elastomers
·
designed also for outdoor use
Mechanical strengths:
·
high strengths from -80° C to +95° C (-112° F to +203° F)
·
no brittleness below freezing point
·
high tear resistance throughout the material
Stability of the material:
·
carries higher pipe loads compared to other elastomers
·
ensures constant insulation thickness
·
resistant to stretching |
