Paz and tranquility in the Italian kitchens
20 March 2012
The foam of open cell and base of resin of melamine Basotect G of BASF uses with a thickness of 20 Mm for this application. The foam guarantees that the system of ventilation Zeus, described with a broadcast of 54 decibels, fulfils with the strict requirements of control of the noise that apply to the residential buildings in Italy.
The system of ventilation measures 45x34x18 centimetres and has an entrance of air of 15 centimetres of width. Zeus Can integrate easily in the façade and is compatible with all type of mortars and enfoscados standard. This type of system of ventilation fulfils with the norm IN 14366 and is specified for the Italian kitchens by reasons of hygiene, since the main fuel that uses to cook is the gas. In addition to concentrating in absorbing the sound, these systems of ventilation also do upsetting in contributing thermal sensors isolation, since they same create thermal sensors bridges in the wall.
Basotect is a foam of open cell that gathers an only range of properties. The material of base confers him fireproof and abrasive properties, and can use to some temperatures of until 240 °C, conserving his properties along a wide range of temperatures. His structure of foam of open cell confers him his light weight, his capacity of amortiguación of the sound and his flexibility, that keeps even to low temperatures, as well as his capacity of thermal sensors isolation.
“In addition to his good thermal sensors properties and of amortiguación acoustic, attracted us especially the ease of processing that presents Basotect. This foam adapts to the outlines of the system of ventilation with precision and can cut it to measure and hit it where correspond we same”, signals Marco Facchini, executive director of N.D.To., to explain the decision of the company. Basotect Is very flexible and can adapt easily to different forms. Besides this foam does not contain mineral fibres.
Treats of the first time that Basotect, the special foam of BASF, uses in systems of ventilation of this type. In addition to the Italian market, this system will direct also to other Mediterranean countries with similar requirements of control of the noise, like Spain and Greece.
Zeus Is a mark registered of the company N.D.To. And it represents the first system of European ventilation certificate with the mark CE (in the group ‘products of the construction' of the DIR 89/106/CEE), that has recognition to European level and that will patent in consequence.
