NEW CERTIFICATION FOR MPM REFLEX

Posted on by operatore

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.

PLATES FIXP: 70 YEARS AND STILL YOUNG!

Posted on by operatore

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!

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BARRIERS MADE OF MPM TECHNOPOLYMER AND STEEL

Posted on by operatore
Click to see the full video

The main aim of safety barriers is to protect people, vehicles, machinery and infrastructure.

The resulting costs and benefits depend greatly on the choice of material used for the barrier.

The market currently offers common steel barriers, usually used on roads, and the innovative MPM polymer, which is much more suitable for industrial use. Let’s find out why.

PROTECTION LEVEL AND IMPACT RESISTANCE

Once a metal barrier has been impacted, it deforms and is no longer able to provide perfect protection. Moreover, being a rigid obstacle, it causes serious physical repercussion to the driver of a vehicle involved in an accidental impact.

MPM barriers have a very innovative and unique design, and are made of REFLEX, a very flexible technopolymer that can withstand impact from moving trucks. Their strength has been tested and certified by TÜV SÜD.

This perfect combination makes MPM barriers an ally to increase operator safety awareness, drastically reduce the risk of collisions, and decrease accidents and injuries. This makes the work environment safer and ensures greater efficiency without downtime.   

LONG-TERM RETURN ON INVESTMENT

Steel protective solutions involve high routine maintenance costs. In fact:

  • Moisture causes rusting, making them less visible and therefore hazardous to operators and loads being handled;
  • Impact permanently deforms them, so they must be replaced to ensure continued protection;
  • The material is rigid and transfers the energy to the floor, breaking the concrete, which then needs to be repaired.

MPM REFLEX barriers offer strength and flexibility, and their ability to bend and return to their original shape means they can absorb the energy from repeated impacts. This means that the energy is dissipated rather than being transferred to the ground or impacting body, so:

  • the floor is preserved undamaged;
  • vehicles are undamaged;
  • no replacement or repair costs after impact;
  • the protection remains highly visible and coloured, with no need for repainting.

Thank you Modex!

In just four days, Modex 2022 – the American trade fair dedicated to the most cutting-edge transport and logistics’ innovations – has proven to be a success once again!

The desire to positively open this new and intense trade show season is denoted by the record number of exhibitors, professionals and attendees present at this latest edition, which has taken place at Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta.

MPM could not have missed such an incredible opportunity to fly there and present our wide range of safety solutions for protecting warehouses and infrastructures.

Among the various products presented at our booth, the new high-resistance BFLEX protection system has recorded a great success: flexible and absorbent, our BFLEX protections guarantee a wide impact base for vehicles and heavy loads, thanks to its characteristic B-shape given by its double-arched design.

Overall, we take home both great satisfaction for the results obtained and great joy for the new interesting contacts we gained and for the most loyal customers that came to see us again.

As usual, Modex represented not just an excellent meeting point for innovators in the supply chain and manufacturing field, but mostly a stimulating gathering that allows professionals to get in touch with international companies.

That is the reason why we decided to open this trade show year in Atlanta, but this exhibition has just been the first of thirteen other trade fairs we have scheduled for 2022!
