Product Achievement
Zotefoams is pleased to announce that its product ZOTEK(R) F42HT LS has
successfully achieved the approval criteria of the FM Approvals FM 4910 standard
'Cleanroom Materials Flammability Test Protocol'.
ZOTEK(R) F42HT LS fluoropolymer foam is the only polymer foam to have achieved
the 'Specification Tested' status against the FM 4910 test protocol. This
specific grade of material is used to make T-Tubes(R) advanced insulation
systems for clean environments. Zotefoams has a marketing alliance with UFP
Technologies Inc, the manufacturer of T-Tubes(R).
FM Approvals are a business unit of FM Global, one of the market leaders in the
property insurance industry. Testing was undertaken at the company's Rhode
Island facility where the company has revolutionary cleanroom materials-testing
technology to determine which materials can best reduce property loss in the
event of a fire.
Commenting on this success, David Stirling, Managing Director of Zotefoams plc,
said 'This recognition of the outstanding flammability performance of the ZOTEK
(R) F42HT LS fluoropolymer foam is an invaluable aid to the marketing and sales
of the product into cleanroom applications and represents an exciting
opportunity for Zotefoams.'
