Technical Specifications
| Description | Fluted floor protection board is an extruded board made from polypropylene co-polymer granules along with additional components to confer specific characteristics to the product. |
|---|---|
| Nominal Weight | Board weight and thickness can be engineered to cater for specific requirements such as enhanced compression characteristics. |
| Thickness | Fluted floor protection board is available in 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 6mm and 10mm thickness. |
| Dimensions | Fluted floor protection board utilises standard board conventions when specifying length and width, i.e.the first dimension (f) is the flute length and the second dimension is the width across the flutes. |
| Mullen Bursting Strength | Fluted floor protection board does not burst in the Mullen Tester. |
| Combustibility | Polypropylene is a combustible thermoplastic material. The products of combustion are carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, smoke and low concentrations of breakdown and oxidation products such as formaldehyde. Fire precautions consistent with regulatory codes and standards for comparable materials should be observed. |
| Toxicity | Fluted floor protection board is chemically unreactive and is generally regarded as being biologically inert. However, coloured grades docontain additives that could be harmful, and ingestion is not recommended. Direct skin contact with Fluted floor protection board does not normally lead to skin irritation. |
| Inflammability | (Data on resin used in extruding Fluted floor protection board) Minimum self-ignition temperature ca 375 deg C (ASTM D 1929) Minimum flash-ignition temperature ca 310 deg C (ASTM D 1929) UL flame class 94HB. Oxygen index 17.4% – 18% (ASTM D 635) Softening temperature ca 144 deg C. Crystalline melting point ca 160 deg C. Flame retardant grade to BS 2782 Method 508A (1970 Rate of burning) and LPS1207 : Issue 1 : 1994 |
| Resistance | Fluted floor protection board is inert to most mineral and organic acids, oils, greases and alcohols. It causes very little abrasion and is resilient and shatter proof. It is totally impervious to water. |
| Flexing | A property of Fluted floor protection board is its outstanding resistance to flex fatigue. |
| Durability | Fluted floor protection board does not rip or tear and is virtually indestructible. It is photodegradable. |
| Light Transmission | Translucent grade 75%. |
| Cutting | Fluted floor protection board can be cut with a Stanley Knife, electric saw, guillotine or platen. |
| Joining | Stapling, ultra-sonic welding and silicone glues. |
| Colours | Fluted floor protection board is available in primary colours from stock or special colours to order including colour matching systems. Colours are not designed for outdoors light fastness. |
| Insulation | Fluted floor protection board is a good acoustic and thermal insulator. Typical U-value 3.8 w/m2 deg C. Fluted floor protection board is a CFC free product. |
| Quality Assurance | We work to a quality management system commensurate to BS 5750 Part 2 (ISO9002). |
| Four Colour | Use ink manufacturers recommended inks. To minimise expansion it is advisable to run Fluted floor protection board through the drier prior to printing the first colour to warm the board to its printing temperature. Run the drier at a low temperature and put all colours down in quick succession to ensure the board temperature stays as constant as possible. These precautions are necessary if register is to be maintained. Fluted floor protection board will expand by 1mm per 1000mm length of board through 10 deg C rise in temperature. |
