| Flexible PVC ducting for the serious DIY person | 14-09-06 |
Whether its due to an increase in TV programs of this genre or Australian’s just being dogged DIY types, Eximo hasn’t ignored the importance of protecting the lungs and workspaces of those self-appointed handy types
Occupational health and safety standards apply just as strongly in the workshop of the dedicated DIY person as they do at the workplace.
Wood shavings, metal filings, toxic fumes, dust and powders are just some of the potentially dangerous substances that can be inhaled, unless an adequate extraction system is in place.
Our ClearFlex is a lightweight, very flexible PVC ducting for such all-round applications.
The transparent product is suitable for the suction of air, fumes, and light dust and powders, plus it has excellent flexibility and very good compressibility.
It has a 0.4mm wall thickness and is available in 10m rolls or can be cut to length to meet specific orders.
A spring steel helix throughout the material allows for excellent flexibility. The product has a temperature resistance ranging from 0°C up to +70°C.
Depending on diameter, the weight of the product ranges from 0.134 kg per metre up to 2.945 kg per metre. Bend radius ranges from 16mm to 350mm; maximum work pressure Bar ranges from 0.40 to 0.01; and maximum vacuum Bar ranges from 0.20 to 0.01.
For slightly more demanding applications such as those when moving low pressure air, fumes, dust or cables, ClearFlex Heavy - a medium weight and flexible PVC ducting - can facilitate.
With key properties being its high flexibility and smooth bore, ClearFlex heavy has a wall thickness of 5mm in the 13mm-99mm diameter stock, and a 0.6mm wall thickness in the 100mm-400mm diameter stock.
This product is also clear of colour and has a temperature resistance of 0°C through to +70ºC and can be supplied in single length 10m rolls or cut to order.
Its weight is slightly higher than that of the standard ClearFlex product, ranging from 0.110 kg per metre to 2.930 kg per metre. Bend radius ranges from 20mm to 350mm; maximum work pressure Bar is from 1.90 to 0.10; and maximum vacuum Bar is from 0.55 down to 0.06.
