It evaluates both, the burning and afterglow times after repeated flame application and dripping of the burning test specimen. For conveying of granulates and raw material, in use at surface preparation, in use on sweeping machines and road milling machines or at industrial vacuum cleaners – the AIRDUC® PUR 355 AS convinces with:
  • good resistance to oil, gasoline, and chemicals
  • highly abrasion resistant and increased pressure and vacuum resistance
  • permanently antistatic wall: electrical and surface resistance <10⁹ Ω
  • flame-retardant according to: UL94-V2 & DIN4102-B1
  • in accordance with ATEX 2014/34/EU

Especially for ventilation, heating, sand conveying in rail vehicle braking systems and sanitary installation on railways, trams, boats or yachts –  AIRDUC® PUR 352 SE:
  • medium-heavy duty
  • highly abrasion resistant
  • microbe and hydrolysis resistant
  • good resistance to oil, gasoline and chemicals
  • flame-retardant according to: UL94-V0, DIN4102-B1, DIN 5510-2 (S4, SR2, ST2)

Further products certified acc. to UL94-V2: AIRDUC® PUR 350 AS and AIRDUC® PUR 350 / 355 FOOD.
