Orac Decor products have a maximum heat resistance, depending on the specific material used in their manufacture. Here is the main information regarding the heat resistance of Orac Decor materials:
1. Purotouch® (High Density Polyurethane)
- Heat resistance : Up to 65°C .
- Applications : Suitable for decorative mouldings, cornices and ornaments. Should not be exposed to direct heat sources, such as halogen lamps or nearby heating appliances.
2. Duropolymer® (High Density Polymer)
- Heat resistance : Up to 65°C .
- Applications : Used for skirting boards and frames, it is suitable for areas exposed to moderate heat, but not for direct contact with heat sources.
3. Durofoam® (Lightweight expanded polystyrene)
- Heat resistance : Up to 65°C .
- Applications : Intended for simpler decorative elements, with a tolerance similar to that of other materials.
4. Flex (Flexible versions of Purotouch® and Duropolymer®)
- Heat resistance : Same as their standard versions (up to 65°C ), but it is important not to expose them to extreme thermal conditions which could alter their flexibility.
Restrictions and recommendations:
- Direct heat sources : Orac Decor products should not be installed in the immediate vicinity of elements that generate excessive heat, such as open fires, active fireplaces, stoves, or cooking equipment.
- Integrated Lights : If the moldings are used to integrate lighting (such as LED strips), it is crucial to ensure that the temperature generated by these lights remains below the specified limits. Low-temperature LEDs are highly recommended.
- Paints used : If the products are painted, be sure to use heat-resistant paints in environments exposed to moderate temperatures.
If in doubt about a specific application or proximity to a heat source, it is advisable to consult the Orac Decor technical data sheets or seek specialist advice.
