TUV SUD CERTIFICATION CONFIRMED

The TÜV SÜD certification was re-confirmed for rack protectors, 100% designed and manufactured by MPM in compliance with European standard EN 15512; the only ones with three internal shock absorbers in soft anti-shock material and available in different sizes to perfectly fit any rack.

Obtaining the TÜV SÜD certification is the confirmation of the company’s commitment to the pursuit of qualitative excellence in its products.

NEW UNI TECHNICAL REGULATION

2020 will be the year of change in Italy and among the world for the safety barriers Technical Regulation. For the second year, MPM together with a pool of technicians, chose to take part to the UNI standards activity. This is a great opportunity for MPM to contribute to the issue, as a manufacturing company and an expert in safety polymer solutions. In Italy, the Technical Report about safety solutions will be implemented from the second half of 2020. It will be very useful for companies and professionals as a technical guide that allows people to identify critical areas with high risk of collision and to make them safe with the best shock-proof, space-saver and flexible solution. In 2021, the Technical Report could be transposed into EU and international standards, thanks to the UNI works at the CEN (European Committee for Standardization) and the ISO (International Organization for Standardization). MPM full range of flexible solutions is the right answer for those who want to make their company safe!

LOGISTICS & AUTOMATION 2021

MPM reached the most important exhibition center in Spain for the second time this year: IFEMA that hosted “Logistics & Automation” in November, a great showcase for the latest innovations in the logistics field.

Two days of meeting and dialogues to present our resistant protections in REFLEX techno polymer to create safe conditions in the workplace.

The products of excellence continue to convince the Spanish market that demonstrated great interest and curiosity for our Flexible Protections.

ROAD TO…a successful 2022!

LINK: THE FIRST ADJUSTABLE BARRIER

Link is the first barrier in the world adjustable according to the needs of the end customer thanks to its innovative connection system. Thanks to this new patent, it is possible to secure areas with a high risk of impact by adjusting the protections according to the critical height of the areas to be protected and the type of vehicles used.

Designed by MPM research, the impact-resistant material of Link ensures maximum visibility in the workplace, ensuring high impact resistance, minimum maintenance and easy cleaning. Easy installation and versatility make Link the perfect ally for DIY protections.

LINK is the only impact barrier that guarantees impact resistance up to 36,000 Joules. For this reason LINK is suitable for airport environments and areas with heavy load handling.

MPM products want to be the answer, at a global level, for those in search of innovation and effectiveness in terms of safety. Our shockproof materials are the result of a long experience in the field of plastic extrusion. For us, quality is an inflexible element in all the processing phases of our products.

NEW CERTIFICATION FOR MPM REFLEX

OUR POLYMER CONFIRMS THE V0 SELF-EXTINGUISHING CLASS

Among the various characteristics of REFLEX is that of self-extinguishing, which determines the V0 classification of our material according to the UL94 standard. In order to confirm this property, we had the REFLEX material tested by a third party, namely UL INTERNATIONAL itself, which performed the tests at the UL laboratory in Krefeld, Germany. The REFLEX was awarded the V0 rating, which is actually the highest achievable according to the UL V method.

What is class V0 and what does the test involve?

UL 94 is a flammability standard for plastics developed by UL – “Underwriters Laboratory” – which measures the fire behaviour of a material when exposed to flame. 

Specifically, the test involves placing the specimen in a vertical position using a clamp; then a flame is applied to the lower end of the specimen for 10 seconds.

The material is classified as V0 if it self-extinguishes within 10 seconds and does not show any flaming droplets.

The V0 rating is currently the best achievable, followed in order by grades V1 and V2.  Polymers such as PP and PE are even of class HB (Horizontal Burning), therefore 3 categories lower than REFLEX.

Unlike HB class polymers, RFELEX does not spread flames, thus helping to contain the fire.

LOGIMAT EXHIBITION IN STUTTGART

MPM flies to Stuttgart to take part in LOGIMAT 2019. The event is considered as the worldwide largest specialized trade fair in the intralogistics sector and hosts exhibitors from around 40 countries. In this 117,000 square metres exhibition, MPM will present its product range and solutions for increasingly more efficient intralogistics processes.

The MPM team takes this opportunity to present innovative technologies, products, systems and solutions to safeguard work environments, production and external areas at risk of impact.

REFLEX, the material used for MPM solutions, will be the main protagonist of our stand. Thanks to the properties that distinguish it as a resistant and waterproof polymer, REFLEX achieves the parameters of excellence to safeguard work environments, maximize results and minimize costs and maintenance.

GRD 200 : IMPACT UP TO 9365 JOULES!

MPM presents the most resistant bollard in the world!

GRD200 has successfully passed all the impact tests and it is the first and only protective bollard made of technopolymer that resists impact up to 9365 JOULES !

What’s the secret?

•  Its external structure is very strong and it has an octagonal shape that allows it to resist impacts from every direction.

•  Its internal structure has soft bumpers.

•  It is fixed to the floor with a special shock absorber pad  that ensures higher resistance and flexibility.

All these features make GRD200 unique!

SITL 2022

Mpm moves forward in its trade fairs calendar with a second Parisian exhibition: we will indeed be exhibiting at SITL Europe – one of the main European meeting places for the transport and logistics industry – which will take place from Tuesday the 5th to Friday the 8th of April 2022 at Paris Villepinte .

Four intense days dedicated to today’s logistics solutions and tomorrow’s innovations, set in one of the most important gatherings for the Transport & Logistics field, where you can find a favourable atmosphere both for new connections and for business development.

Our team will be pleased to welcome you at our stand N085 – HALL 6 and introduce you to the entire range of flexible techno polymer protections, including our new Mini Hug! Which is a self-supporting, custom column protection, compact and flexible: in other words, the perfect solution to protect concrete or steel pillars and H-beams from impacts caused by moving trucks and forklifts.

What could be a better opportunity to present our latest news? SITL is the pivotal 360-degree meeting place for creating new connections in the logistics industry, so come and visit us in Paris!

METRO ~ CASE STUDY

M E T R O, leader in the wholesale and food industry, chose us as a partner for the development of solutions to protect its new logistics hub.

After a careful study of the project, the intended use of environments and the movement of vehicles and goods, we identified the critical areas to protect. MPM has therefore provided a complete s o l u t i o n to safeguard walls and panels of cold rooms, protruding corners, doors and loading bays through a series of targeted interventions.

Guard Rails impact profiles to protect the walls; Kerb, easily washable and hygienic; shock-proof bollards to protect doors and protruding corners of cold rooms and shock-proof profiles to protect panels and walls in environments with negative temperatures.

PLATES FIXP: 70 YEARS AND STILL YOUNG!

A GREAT RESULT FOR THE SALT SPRAY AND SALT FOG TEST

A few days ago MPM concluded the SALT SPRAY AND SALT FOG TEST, performed by a certification institution called Motivex Lab – an accredited test laboratory based in Avigliana (Turin, North Italy): here our galvanized and varnished FIX P 90 and FIX P 150 plates have reached and overcame 7000 hours of testing – which corresponds approximately to 70 years of life – without showing irreparable signs of corrosion!

The Salt Spray and Salt Fog Test is an accelerated corrosion test that produces a corrosive attack on coated samples in order to predict their resistance to weather conditions and their suitability for use as a protective finish over time.

The test has been performed according to the norm of reference: UNI EN ISO 9227: 2017 (NSS).

That’s why our protections are the perfect ally for making challenging workspaces safe in the long-term!
