Lubrizol's Estane® TPU Grades Certified In Contact With Drinking Water
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
BRUSSELS, Belgium, September 29, 2015 - Lubrizol Engineered Polymers announces
that it is now offering a series of polyether-based thermoplastic polyurethanes
(TPUs), with a hardness range from 74 to 90 shore A, for use in water management
applications. This new product series, produced under the Estane(® )TPU product
platform, meets WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) regulations for
certified materals that have contact with drinking water, based on the standard
BS6920 and NSF (NSF/ANSI Standard 61 on Drinking Water System Components)
certifications.
WRAS's and NSF's certified listings greatly expands Lubrizol's broad and
innovative engineered polymers offering in applications related to water
management, where high-performing TPU solutions are applied in parts for water
distribution and tanks. Several grades by WRAS have been certified for use with
water up to 23°C, and Estane 58197 NAT 022 has been certified for use with water
up to 50°C.
"When targeting applications in the water management industry, compliance with
drinking water regulations in various countries is a must. Lubrizol is very
sensitive to these issues, and we have developed engineered solutions
specifically to meet these strict requirements, "states Timothy Madden, managing
director for Estane engineered polymers EMEAI.
WRAS-certified grades Estane 58315 NAT 035 and 58311 NAT 028, additionally, meet
corresponding food service regulations under the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA). Further, Estane 54640 NAT 031, which is especially
designed for food belts, meets FDA and EU (10-2011) regulations.
Lubrizol's portfolio of engineered polymer solutions offers other FDA and EU-
compliant materials, available with a broad shore hardness range and different
chemical base. Lubrizol's solutions for food processing and water management are
also finding increasing use at customers that have stringent demands for
materials compliant with recognized and requested certifications. These simplify
the selection of key raw materials and can speed up product development time,
shortening the time-to market for new product launches in the food processing
industry and drinking water field, and supporting the potential end-
certification of drinking water- or food contact-related products.
Lubrizol's engineered polymer portfolio offers a wide-range of highly versatile
materials (to be applied in belts, films, profiles, hoses and tubes and coated
fabrics, among other applications) with outstanding abrasion-, chemical-,
hydrolysis- and high-heat resistance. High-performance polycaprolactone
copolyester- or copolymer-based specialties are available for the industrial,
automotive, electronics and sports and recreation markets.
