RAMPF Polymer Solutions developed the brand new sealing gasket RAKU® PUR 32 3294 2 to satisfy the requirements of the latest and much more stringent version of DIN EN ISO 846 (11/2020). The polyurethane system has now been successfully certified by the Institute of Hygiene of the Ruhr District. In conjunction with certification to VDI 6022, this means no mildew, yeasts, or bacteria can form, grow, or reproduce on the material.
The FIPFG (formed in place foam gasket) system is used in:
- AC systems and HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning) in hospitals, universities, libraries, museums, trade fair buildings, shopping malls, as well as residential and office buildings
- Control cabinets (including in the food industry)
- Lights and lamps
- Top sealing quality in terms of IP requirements
- Suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications
- Very low levels of compression set
- Shore hardness can be flexibly adjusted (Shore 00: 40 70)
- Extremely low water absorption
As Jens Muhl, Technical Sales Manager Sealing Systems at RAMPF Polymer Solutions explains, “Now that RAKU® PUR 32 3294 2 has been certified, we can offer companies that need to satisfy the most stringent antibacterial requirements a top-performing sealing system.
