Anti-oxidation insulation

ISOCLAD

Tested and approved

ISOCLAD is well established, tested and certified in Europe and overseas.
ISOCLAD corresponds to the strictest standards and protection against corrosion (French and Danish standards). Tests were also performed by A.I.B. (Industrial Association in Belgium) and OREXEM!(Control Office for Inspection and Survey of Experimental Technologies) and also CSTB (Centre for Science and Architecture) in Paris and Surface treatment (Technological Institute) in Tastrup, Denmark.

ISOCLAD is also certified in the Czech Republic.. Tests performed showed the following results

Adherence:

ISOCLAD was applied on ANTIKORO – steel according to the French standard T30-062. The force necessary for removing (release) of the coat from the base was measured before and after artificial ageing. Results are positive, no separation was achieved.

Flexibility: The ISOCLAD anti-corrosive layer with a thickness of 1 mm bears expansion (prolongation) by 200%, without origination of cracks.

Cyclic test for ageing:

The material was investigated after testing in the WEATHER - O - MATIC device (9 cycles during 24 hours: water fog, break – infrared radiation, 2% fog of SO2 – break – ultra-violet radiation – break and following 200 hours in salt fog). No spots were ascertained from corrosion of the expansion in old corrosive areas.

Extension strength after ageing:

After artificial ageing (rain at 20° C, hot and wet atmosphere, ultra-violet radiation at 60°C) using these tests any possible changes in strength are tested.
Tests were performed according to the recommended standard JSO/R 257. No changes were ascertained.

Penetration of water:

Tests were performed according to the P.10-5-212 GPEM/PV method.
The volume of water is measured which penetrates the ISOCLAD film.. Tests proved that ISOCLAD is waterproof.

Resistance to salt fog:

After artificial ageing, the layer of ISOCLAD was affected by salt fog (ASTM standard B 117-73): The origination of corrosion or the removing of the layer was not ascertained.

Resistance to sulphur dioxide:

Tests were performed according to the French standard T 30-055. Tests contained 25 cycles during 24 hours in a wet environment containing sulphur dioxide in the volume concentration of 0.07%. The coating reported very good behaviour.

Resistance to dipping:

Samples of ISOCLAD were dipped into salt water at 40°C (standard B. S. 3900, part F4:1968). Cuts were made into the ISOCLAD layer. In this manner we wanted to ascertain the resistance to corrosion in the damaged areas. The origination of the corrosion in cuts was not ascertained.
