Produced locally. Certified globally. Tailored to your cleanliness requirements.
Cleanliness goes hand in hand with safety, particularly when it comes to the fire behavior of materials. It is here that the FM 4910 standard has become a global benchmark: minimum flame spread, limited smoke emission, and maximum safety. Produced locally and certified globally, SIMONA® PVC-U FM 4910 meets the strictest cleanliness standards and will protect your operational processes to the greatest extent possible. Committed to offering the full breadth of our product range worldwide, we have now also commenced production in Germany, thereby complementing our operations in China and the United States.
Key Benefits
Improved safety for your processes and systems
FM 4910-approved: minimal smoke emission and hardly any flame spread – for maximum safety in cleanrooms and reduced risk of production downtime.
- Efficient processing without compromise
Sheets and welding rods from the same formulation with a welding factor close to 1.0 for a seam strength comparable to that of the base material. This means minimal finishing effort, shorter assembly times, and maximum process reliability.
- Reliability in challenging chemical applications
Highest resistance to strong acids and alkalis as well as outstanding impact resistance and mechanical strength – for a long service life and lower maintenance costs.
- Professional cleanroom design
The white and ivory high-gloss finish creates a clean, modern environment and is also compatible with existing installations.
Applications
- Enclosures for wet-chemical process equipment (e.g., in cleanrooms)
- Chemical distribution systems and valve boxes
- Cleaning modules
- Wafer transfer interfaces
- Switch cabinets
