Follow on Google News | Saint-Gobain Seals Group’s Rulon® J Material ASTM Certified for Flammability, Smoke & ToxicityRulon® J Fluoropolymer Material ASTM Certified for Flammability, Smoke & Toxicity (FST)
By: Saint-Gobain Seals Group Specific flammability and smoke density testing were performed according to ASTM standards. ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) is a globally recognized leader in the development and delivery of international voluntary consensus standards and more than 12,000 of their standards are used around the world to improve product quality, enhance safety, facilitate market access and trade, and build consumer confidence. Rulon® J material was certified according to ASTM E162-11 – “Surface flammability of materials using a Radiant Heat Energy Source” and ASTM E662-09 – “Standard Method for specific Optical Density of Smoke Generated by Solid Materials,” which meets the requirements of Specification section T.S. 205.A.3.a, flammability and smoke emission under Title 49CFR 238.103 for vehicle components. ASTM E162 measures flame spread and testing is performed where a panel’s top edge is exposed to a 670°C/1238° Toxicity testing was performed according to Boeing Specification Support Standard BSS 7239 for Toxic Gas Generation by Materials on Combustion and meets the requirements of Specification section T.S. 205.A.3.c for maximum toxic gas release limit. The Boeing test method employs a flamed heat source in a smoke chamber to gauge toxic fume concentration of six gases -- carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen fluoride (HF), hydrogen chloride (HCl), hydrogen cyanide (HCN), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) and concentration levels are recorded at specified time intervals. Rulon®J material is part of the Seals Group’s polymers product line and operates extremely well against soft mating surfaces, has excellent wear resistance, is non-abrasive and has one of the lowest coefficient of friction of most reinforced PTFE materials. The Rulon® brand consists of a family of proprietary, homogeneous materials that are mostly composed of PTFE based resins, and products include bearings, rings, tapes, formed parts, basic shapes and wear components. The Rulon® product as well as Saint-Gobain Seals Group’s other material line, Meldin®, will be featured at the K Trade Fair 2013 (http://www.seals.saint- For more information about the Seals Group’s Rulon® product, their other polymer and sealing solutions or the K show, please visit www.seals.saint- About Saint-Gobain Seals Group (www.seals.saint- Saint-Gobain Seals Group is a business unit under Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics’ Engineered Components division, offering a diverse range of innovative sealing and polymer solutions: · --OmniSeal® · --OmniLip™ · --OmniFlex™ · --OmniShield® · --Rulon® High-Performance Fluoropolymer Compounds · --Meldin® 7000 Thermoset Polyimide Materials · --Meldin® HT High-Performance Thermoplastic Materials Other products include Fluoroloy® (http://www.seals.saint- The majority of seals and polymer components manufactured are custom designed and matched with the best materials to optimize their performance in various applications and markets.
