PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Polyurethane
Back to Top
First Class Building Products, Inc.
products are made with high density polyurethane
with an overall density of 13 to 17 pounds per cubic foot. The First
Class Building Products, Inc.
process provides a greater skin density than core
density for increased durability.
All products are manufactured with a white or beige
colour coating. Further, these products receive a primer coat finish
before they are shipped to customers. the combination of the integral
shell-like skin, the barrier coat, and the primer top coat provide an
excellent substrate for durable finishes.
Ultra violet rays do not affect properly coated
products.
The compressive strength of polyurethane products
falls within the 300-400 P.S.I. Range. (The parts are not intended
for structural use.)
The tensile strength of polyurethane products falls
within the 350-400 P.S.I. range. (The parts are not intended for
structural use.)
The degree of flexibility of any given polyurethane
product is determined by the size and shape of its cross section.
However, due to the inherent flex characteristics of polyurethane
products, they will follow some curvatures and uneven surfaces.
First Class polyurethane has a closed cell
structure which provides protection from most solvents and renders it
almost completely hydrophophic. It will not rot!
All First Class polyurethane products resist
the growth of mildew and fungus and further provide no nutritional value
for other organisms such as small rodents.
INSTALLATION
First Class
polyurethane products are handled in the same manner
as wood millwork.
First Class
adhesives refer to model PL Premium.
Fasteners refer to nails, screws,
bolts etc.
First Class
adhesives and fasteners must be used for installing all
First Class
products on concrete, metal, vinyl or wood. Adhesive must be
used on all joints to ensure the beauty of your installation for years
to come.
FINISHING
First Class
products are supplied with a white or beige primer
base coat, ready for finishing top coat. A good quality exterior or
latex or oil base paint may be used on rigid First Class product. On
First Class flexible product use HQ Alkyd Enamel such as Benjamin Moore
M24. The surface must be clean, dry, and free from all greases or waxes
before all finish work is begun.
WARRANTY
First Class
Building Products, Inc. warrants its product upon the following
conditions against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of
one year from date of purchase when used and installed under recommended
conditions.
Purchaser and installer must
inspect each piece prior to installation Both parties waive all defects
which could have been discovered by reasonable inspection prior to
installation.
Warranty will automatically be void
if First Class adhesives (PL Premium) are not
used as per section on “Installation.”
In the event claim is made under
this warrant,
First Class has the right to inspect the part and determine at
his/her discretion, that the parts supplied are defective.
First Class will repair, or if need be, replace said defective
parts if returned freight prepaid to First Class
place of manufacturing. If
First Class determines the parts cannot be repaired or replaced,
First Class will refund to the distributor the amount paid to
First Class
for the said defective parts.
First Class
shall have no liability to any person, firm or corporation whatsoever
for incidental or consequential damages such as but not limited to,
labour, finishing, parts damaged by freight carriers, freight charges,
installation, lost profits, and lost sales or the like.
No purchaser may take any deduction
or credit against any amount owed to First Class
or make any charge back without the expressed written consent of
First Class.
