Orac Decor products have a maximum heat resistance, depending on the specific material used in their manufacturing. Here are the main pieces of information regarding the heat resistance of Orac Decor materials:
1. Purotouch® (High-Density Polyurethane)
- Heat Resistance: Up to 65°C.
- Applications: Suitable for moldings, cornices, and decorative 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 baseboards and casings, suitable for areas exposed to moderate heat but not for direct contact with heat sources.
3. Durofoam® (Light Expanded Polystyrene)
- Heat Resistance: Up to 65°C.
- Applications: Intended for simpler decorative elements, with a similar tolerance to the other materials.
4. Flex (Flexible Versions of Purotouch® and Duropolymer®)
- Heat Resistance: Identical to their standard versions (up to 65°C), but it is important not to expose them to extreme thermal conditions that could alter their flexibility.
Restrictions and Recommendations:
- Direct Heat Sources: Orac Decor products should not be installed in close proximity to elements generating excessive heat, such as open fires, active fireplaces, stoves, or kitchen appliances.
- Integrated Lights: If moldings are used to integrate lighting fixtures (such as LED strips), it is crucial to ensure that the temperature generated by these lights remains below the indicated limits. Low-temperature LEDs are highly recommended.
- Paints Used: If the products are painted, make 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 Orac Decor's technical data sheets or seek specialized advice.
