Nylatron Thermal Breaks
Thermal Breaks are used throughout the building trade to provide cold bridging prevention between internal and external horizontal and vertical metal connections. The Nylatron Thermal Break is designed with low thermal conductivity in mind, thus reducing/preventing the flow of thermal energy between the two conductive materials, minimising the risk of internal heat loss and condensation.
General Characteristics
Low coefficient of friction – Nylatron is suitable for most moving parts allowing them to glide over surfaces smoothly and with less effort. Suitable for bearings, gears and most sliding parts.
Excellent dielectric properties – Nylatron is suitable for electrical insulators.
Good abrasion resistance – Nylatron lends itself to low to medium stress applications possessing a high mechanical strength.
Reduces lubrication – Filled with molybdenum disulfide at source it enables components within applications to keep free moving without the need for constant additional lubrication.
Design requirements of Nylatron Thermal Breaks
As every building envelope is designed differently it is impractical for PMA TRADING to determine and calculate its thermal performance, we therefore request a full dimensional drawing from which to produce our Nylatron GSM thermal breaks. To ensure we meet the requirements fully, the requisitioner should ensure all aspects of B25250:2011 are met. Guidance on avoiding problems with high moisture levels, excessive humidity and condensation in the building are all covered in this directive. From here all U value calculations can be done on the local steel structures that are to penetrate the building envelope, and Nylatron Thermal Breaks can be manufactured to suit.
**Please note that items such as beam end plates, thermal breaks and bridge breakers manufactured from Nylatron GSM are inherently more compressible than steel in nature, and therefore deflections, wear, mechanical properties and strength should be calculated at the design stage before a part is stipulated.
High level ISO compliance, Thermal conductivity and load bearing data of our high specification Nylatron Thermal Breaks are contained in the attachment and further details can be provided on request.**
**Please note that it is the project designer/architect’s responsibility to calculate the requirements regarding heat loss and condensation levels in accordance with building regulations.**
