🌟 Key Conclusions from Our Study on Vinyl Siding Performance 🌟 Our study, titled "𝐄𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐖𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐕𝐢𝐧𝐲𝐥 𝐒𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠", conducted in collaboration with National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Dr. Gianluca Sarti and other experts, explores the impact of weathering and formulation on the performance of vinyl siding. Vinyl siding is a popular choice for residential exteriors in the U.S., known for its energy efficiency and low maintenance. Our study explores the chemistry of weathering affecting durability of siding and their fire performance. This research highlights the remarkable weatherability and fire performance of PVC compounds. However the formulations need to be improved in terms of fire barrier to enhance further fire safety in WUI fire (Wildland-Urban Interface fire) i.e., a fire that occurs in areas where wildland vegetation meets urban or developed area. 🔗For more details, download the full study here: [https://lnkd.in/dy64PvjZ] Feel free to contact us at materiali@i-pool.it for further information. #VinylSiding #FireSafety #BuildingInnovation #EnergyEfficiency #Research #NIST #GianlucaSarti #SPHERE #MCC #ConeCalorimetry #PVC
