Advancing Material Science for Boilers and Heaters
The heaters and boilers industry is a highly competitive market where energy saving, reliability and differentiation to consumers is very important. As manufacturers replace brass with thermoplastics to comply with increasingly stringent lead regulations, regulator concerns are growing about some leachables found in frequently used plastics.
Envalior offers a full portfolio of material solutions—including more sustainable bio-based materials—which fully meet or exceed potential regulatory standards while offering superior performance.
Manufacture eco-friendly, lead-free water heater and boiler parts
Envalior offers a range of proven water heater thermoplastic solutions available to manufacturers operating anywhere. Our EcoPaXX®, ForTii® and XytronTM solutions are free from potentially harmful leachable substances and comply with drinking water contact regulations observed worldwide, including NSF 61 and KTW-BWGL. Each material minimizes the risk of premature part wear in demanding hydrolytic conditions and simplifies material change programs by cost-effectively replacing lower strength thermoplastics in existing production processes.
Manufacturers around the globe have used ForTii, Xytron and EcoPaXX as drop-in solutions for PA66, PPA, PPO and PPS alternatives. All three solutions demonstrate high flow and easy processing behaviour, which enables suppliers to cost-effectively produce complex or thin-walled parts without compromising performance. Compared to competing PPS solutions, Xytron generates lower flash, which improves production yield, reduces the length of post-production processes and offers greater design flexibility.
