Physical properties of UPVC profiles

Physical properties of UPVC profiles

Jun 03, 2021

1. Thermal insulation and energy saving: The thermal conductivity of PVC resin is very low, only 1/1250 of aluminum and 1/357 of steel; on the other hand, the upvc profile is designed as a hollow multi-cavity structure with still air in the cavity Has a very good insulation effect. Because upvc windows and doors are equipped with rubber and plastic sealing strips at all gaps, compared with other doors and windows, it can effectively reduce the air infiltration in the gaps, and greatly improve heat preservation and sound insulation. After testing, the room with upvc windows can increase the temperature by 4~5℃ in winter than other windows.

  2. Sound insulation: Because the gaps of upvc windows are sealed by rubber and plastic sealing strips or rubber strips, the air and water tightness is better than other doors and windows. In addition, the hollow multi-cavity structure of the profile makes the upvc window have a special sound insulation effect. it is good. According to tests, a PVC window building 5 meters away from the road has the same sound insulation effect as an aluminum window building 50 meters away from the road. This feature enables PVC windows to be widely used in quiet buildings and prosperous areas.

  3. Weather resistance: Due to the addition of ultraviolet absorbers and low-temperature impact-resistant modifiers to the production formula of UPVC profiles, the weather resistance is improved; long-term use in environments with drastic changes in temperature will not age or change; embrittlement and discoloration. The application of Antarctic Great Wall Station, Zhongshan Station, and Haikou Power Plant illustrates this point.

  4. Corrosion resistance: UPVC window and door are resistant to acid, alkali and other chemical components, and have the characteristics of rust and mildew. They are especially suitable for use in marine climates, areas with high humidity and industrial areas with high pollution and impurities; it is wood , Steel and aluminum windows are incomparable.

  5. Fire resistance and electrical insulation: PVC material used for uPVC doors and windows can self-extinguish in case of fire, does not support combustion, and its fire resistance is better than that of wooden windows. At the same time, the PVC material is a good insulator, non-conductive, and has better insulation than steel windows and ordinary aluminum alloy windows; it has high safety.

   6. ​​Wind pressure resistance: In the assembly of UPVC doors and windows, steel bars are used to reinforce the main force-bearing parts, so its wind pressure resistance can fully meet the needs of construction projects.
