Thermahood chooses PIN FR polymer for light safety
The Northern Ireland attic light specialist, Thermahood, has selected PIN flame retardant polypropylene for the upside sealing covers of its Down Light Attic Seals ceiling lights. These must ensure an airtight seal, to avoid water vapour and thermal loss into lofts which could lead to condensation, whilst ensuring fire safety when heated by light bulbs and covered by loft insulation. The PIN FR polypropylene from LATI Industrial Termoplastici, Italy, achieves UL 94-V0 (0.75 mm) and you L Relative Thermal Index (sees physical properties at hundred and 15° C).
