PVC Ventilation Ducting Fabric provides an economical yet effective solution for industrial and Silicone Insulation Fabric commercial ventilation systems, protecting people in buildings from air contaminants and fumes. Easy to install, this duct saves money over metal ducts over time.
PVC ventilator fabric is produced by mixing polyvinyl chloride resin with stabilizers, plasticizers, lubricants and other auxiliary materials such as stabilizers or plasticizers and then extrusion and curing it at high heat and pressure to form PVC ventilator duct. After curing occurs the PVC ventilator duct can then be coated with anti-UV agents, fire retardants or waterproof coatings to increase durability and corrosion resistance.
The duct comes in many different shapes and sizes, from round, half-round, quarter-round oval or ellipse; as well as various colors. Furthermore, its construction can include over 50% recycled materials making it environmentally-friendly while some materials used can withstand oil fumes as well as welding fumes. Finally, specific performance specifications such as tensile strength tear resistance air flow can be tailored specifically for each project.
Fabric ducting offers numerous advantages over its metal counterpart, including less strain on building structures and being easily concealed under floors or surfaces such as tables.
Flexible ducts are extremely adaptable and can be constructed to any length required, using any material from polyester to metal ducts. Polyester-made ducts tend to be more durable and able to withstand higher temperatures than their metal counterparts while being cheaper to install and less likely to rust over time.
PVC fabric ducts tend to be easier than metal ducting in terms of use, as they can be bent to fit any given space and weigh less. They can even be formed into curved shapes using adhesives without formaldehyde or ethyl benzene content, for use when connecting.
PVC-coated fabric ventilation ducts are an ideal choice for homes built on slabs without crawl spaces, where traditional metal ducting would need to be installed. Not only are they lightweight, flexible and temperature resistant but their flexible nature also makes them easy to install. Plastic ducting can also be an economical choice for businesses that must abide by safety regulations at an economical cost. Furthermore, this form of ducting provides greater energy-efficiency than metal alternatives when it comes to heating and cooling costs. However, it is essential that consumers remember not all PVC-coated fabric ducts are of equal quality; as such they should purchase from reliable distribution points to ensure both quality and longevity of their purchase - this will avoid purchasing an inferior product with inferior workmanship or subpar materials that could easily become damaged over time.
