Other PE-materials in the SIMONA programme:For the construction of apparatus which need a test markSIMONA* PE-HWU-BIs produced from a moulding compound authorized by the lnstitut fur Bautechnik(IfBt) (Institute for Construction Technics) in Berlin. Under certain qualifications itmay be used in the field of tank construction requiring a test mark.For this reason SIMONA has entered into an exterior control agreement with the~ a v a r i a n ~ o vTechnical Control Authority) for the following semi-finished products:sheets, solid rods and w elding wire.Electrically conductiveSIMONA* PE-ELBy means of a special formula a surface resistance of 5 106 Ohm is achieved. Thematerial is mainly used in explosion-proof areas, in which spark formation by staticcharges has to be prevented.For nuclear techno logySIMONAmPE-HWBThe high concentration of hydrogen atoms combined with boron additives (indifferent concentrations) in PE prov ides radiation shield ing. Thermal neutrons areintercepted. Examples of application: Mobile and permanent reactor installations,test rooms and laboratories.For the deep-draw technologySIMONA* PE-HWVThis special type meets the extreme demands of stretching, required in deep-drawing processes, also for the use in the orthopaedic sector. For further informa-tion on the fabrication please see our product information "Vacuum Shaping, HotShaping, Bending".

3.2 Behaviour in fireSIMONAm PE-HWUIHWST are normally inflammable structural m aterials (in accordancewith DIN 4102 82).Self-ignition temperature approximately 350 OCOxygen index approximately 18 %(Minimum oxygen concentration which is necessary for combustion)

3.3 Behaviour in exterior useSIMONA" PE-HWU, especially stabilized for exterior useSIMONA" PE-HWST, only destined for interior use

The life span of the product is not only due to the formula.Further considerations are:the processing procedurethe conditions of processingthe forming of fittings

and any resu lting stresses.For years SIMONA" PE-HWU has proved completely satisfactory for exterior use. With theaddition of special carbon black (approximately2 %)th e ight and weather resistance canbe effectively increasedand counteracts the damaging force of the UV-rays in the sunlightaided by atmospheric oxygen.Exterior applications north of the Central Alps and below 1,500 m sea level normallypermits parts constructed from PE-HWU to a life span of 10or more years (when stressis avoided).

3.4 Physiological behaviourIn accordance with BGA recommendation Ill (187th statement of the Federal HealthDepartment's information leaflet 34, 1991) SIMONAB PE-HWUIHWST semi-finishedproducts are physiologically accep table and may be used in direct con tact with food . Asthis recommendation is only applicable for the semi-finished produc ts, the physiolog icalsafety of the finished part should, when required, be tested before process ing beg ins.

3.5 Chemical resistanceThe non-polar characteristics of SIMONAaP E-HWUIHWST gives this thermoplastic (attemperatures of approx. 20 "C )a very high chemical resistanceagainst - salts (aqueous solutions)- acids (aqueous solutions)- alkalis (aqueous solutions)- alcohol- many solvents

against - greases- oils- waxes

In permanent contact with these mediums there can be a s light swe lling reaction,which in general does not affect the use of these material.a limited chemical resistance (swelling reaction)against - aromates- halogenated hydrocarbonsnot resistant against strong oxidation agents like- nitric acid- chromic acid- halogensEspec ially with welded joints, there is the danger of stress cracking.

For detailed information please see our ca talogue "Chem ical resistance".

3.6 Water absorptionGenerally, SIMONA@PE-HWU/HWSI only absorbs very small amounts of water, andtherefore, it does not swell when stored in water.As to the special app lication of extrusion welding, humidity can influence the weldingresult. Due to geometry (surface compared to volume) and working conditions with theextruder, already very small quantities of water are sufficient in order to deter optimalwelding seams (see product information ,,Weldingu, point 5.6 ,,Extrusion welding").

3.7 Application range concerning temperaturesDue to its molecular construction SIMONAa PE-HWUIHWST s very tough at a wide rangeof temperatures. The crystallite melting range is at 130OC.

Temperature of permanent use -50 to +70 OCWithout significant mechanical stresses and up to +80 OCwith air as environmental medium

3.8 Resistance to microorganisms and rodentsSIMONAa PE-HWUIHWST will not be eroded by the follow ing

microorganismsbacteriafungussporesinsectsrodents

3.9 Aspects concerning healthAs far as its chemial composition is concerned, PE consists mainly of carbon andhydrogen. When it is burned, almost only ca rbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and water areproduced, as well as small amounts of low-molecular parts of the corresponding p lasticsand carbon black.The proportions of carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide depends on the nature of the fire- emperature, ventilation, un limited access of atmospheric oxygen. So there are firegases, which are similar to those of wood or stearin.When discussing the toxicity of plastic fire gases it is often overlooked, that all gases aretoxic. Therefore it cannot be sa id that plastics would produce especially toxic gases in theevent of fire. Water is the most suitable extinguisher with regard to burning PE.
