Tehnical Specification and Physical Properties of UPVC Windows

Name

:

SynerJy; 3mm system for windows and doors.

Grade Reference

:

SYN10 White 01.

Material

:

Acrylic modified high quality impact resistant, white unplasticised Polyvinyl Chloride extrusion to produce a rigid multichamber extrusion.

Physical Properties

:

Comply with BS EN 12608 Annex A.

Colours

:

White, Mahogany, Light Oak and Cherry

Appearance

:

Smooth, white, non-porous gloss surface, complies with requirements of BS EN 12608 5.2.

Surface Finish

:

Stabilised against UV light to prevent excessive colour shift.

Corner Welding

:

Homogeneously welded.  Weld not to fracture below 25N/mm² BS EN 12608, test method EN 514.

Window System

:

Subject to manufacture in accordance with the Synseal Technical Manual recommendations, the casement window system will conform to the requirements of the standard BS 7412.

In addition, a GGF standard window manufactured from SynerJy profiles, in accordance with the Synseal Technical manual, using low-e glass in the unit, achieves a U-value of 1.9 wm-2K-1 when hot-box tested by the British Board of Agrément.

Physical properties of PVC-U Type A Material Grade Ref.: SYN10 White 01

Sound Installation

:

30 dB minimum.

Thermal Conductivity at 20 deg C

:

Typical test value 0.16 W/M deg C.  PVC-U has a low thermal conductivity, and is virtually constant over a wide temperature range.

Fire Classification/ Performance

:

PVC-U is a difficult material to burn which decreases the likelihood and development of fire "When exposed to a flame, PVC-U carbonises without burning or producing droplets, and it has been established that Syneal profiles can be used to achieve a Class 1 surface spread of flame rating to BS 476 : Part 7".

Heat Reversion

:

To BS EN 12608 clause 5.5 (Test method: 1 Hr at 100 deg C).  When tested in accordance with EN 479, the mean maximum reversion value for individual samples shall not be greater than 2% for profiles and 3% for glazing beads.

Heat Ageing

:

To BS EN 12608 clause 5.6 (Test method 1kg from 1.5m at -10 deg C).  When mainframe, casement and sash profiles are tested in accordance with EN477, no more than 1 sample shall exhibit cracking through the entire wall thickness of the profiles on either face.

Heat Resistance/Softening Point

:

To BS EN 12608.  When tested to BS EN ISO 306 (Method B) Minimum Vicat softening point: 75 deg C.  Typical result 82 deg C.

This is well above the requirements of the UK and German specifications.

Flexural Modulus of Elasticity

:

To BS EN 12608.  Minimum requirement 2200 N/mm² value, when tested to EN ISO 178.  Typical result 2350mpa.

Co Efficient of Thermal Expansion

:

Allowances for changes in dimensions are required that occur when the temperature varies.  The co-efficient of linear expansion for PVC-U is 6 x 10-5 per ºC.  It is about half that of many other thermoplastics.

Profile Properties

:

Clause 5 of BS EN 12608:2003.

Retention of Impact Strength after Artificial Weathering

:

To BS EN 12608 Maximum 40% reduction of original value specified when tested to EN513.

Colour Fastness

:

Change in colour after exposure in accordance with EN 513 expressed in ΔE* not greater than 5 and Δb* not greater than 3.

Bulk Density of Powder Blend

:

Typical test value 0.63 - 0.64.

Minimum requirement : Non specified.
