METHOD

The profiles were subjected to a three-point-bending test according to SFS-EN 310. During the tests, the modulus of rupture (i.e. maximum load), the elongation at a load of 500 N, 1000 N and break, *E-Modulus and bending strength was recorded. Distance between the supports was 400 mm and 300 mm (recommended by the customer). Test speed for determination of the bending strength was chosen, that the break occurs within 60 sec +/- 30 sec.

1. BENDING STRENGTH, ELONGATION AND BREAKPOINT (3-POINT) SFS-EN 310

*MOE= The modulus of elasticity (also known as the elastic modulus, the tensile modulus, or Young's modulus) is a number that measures an object or substance's resistance to being deformed elasticallyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_modulus

VISUALIZATION Jari Pasanen 6.1.2016

Good to know

All the above results are in +20 degree temperature

In cold conditions of -20 degrees, Luna TWPC bending strength will increases to about +30%

In extremely hot +80 degrees condition such as "Sauna", Luna TWPC bending strength decreases to about 60%. Luna TWPC is not recommended for use in this kind of circumstances

This phenomenon is typical of all similar WPC products, and Luna TWPC is no exception

3. DETERMINATION OF POINT LOAD EDGE BREAKPOINT (NO STANDARD)

TEST EQUIPMENTUniversal testing machine TIRA-test

TEST PRINCIPLESThe composites were subjected to a point load test. During the tests, the modulus of rupture (i.e. maximum load) and the elongation at break was recorded. The tests were made at room temperature. The point load was determined by pressing a loaded press to the surface of the test specimen. The maximum load was used to evaluate the point load of the test specimen.

Point load distribution, and potential crack point. (FEM calculation)

4. DESIGNING SAFE VERTICAL LOADS (BS EN 1995-1-1: 2004 +A1:2008)

SERVICE CLASSES Three service classes are defined in Eurocode 5 BS EN 1995-1-1. These are:

Service Class 1 (SC1): characterized by a moisture content in the materials corresponding to a temperature of 20 °C and the relative humidity of the surrounding air only exceeding 65% for a few weeks per year.

Service Class 2 (SC2): characterized by a moisture content in the materials corresponding to a temperature of 20 °C and the relative humidity of the surrounding air only exceeding 85% for a few weeks per year.

Service Class 3 (SC3): climatic conditions leading to higher moisture content than in Service Class 2.

For the purpose of this report, Service Class 3 (SC3) conditions (which apply to external use) were considered.

6. THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY (W/(m*K)Test done according to EN ISO 13787 + EN 12667

TESTED BY / DATE:VTT: Hyttinen, Hannu ja Lepistö-Saukko, Eeva-Liisa: 9/2009

METHODTest pieces are balanced (23°, Rh 52%) then placed between a cooling plate and a heating plate. The heat then starts to transfer evenly from the hot side to the cold.Lambda-value/thermal conductivity is then calculated using the temperature difference, the transfer of heat etc. measured in the process.

TEST MEASURESThermal conductivity of the material so that two different materials (same piece size and density) can be compared. Thermal conductivity is determined by the heat flow.

ABOUT THIS TESTAll materials have a unique thermal conductivity value (unit W/mK). Thermalconductivity = Lambda-value (λ). The smaller the value the better the insulationproperties.

For the calculation of the heat penetration value (U-value, previously K-value) the entire structure must be known.

WITH THERMOWOOD COMPOSITEAs the moisture content decreases, the density of the thermowood also lowers. This lessens its ability to conduct heat so making it better at insulating.The density of the material also improves its insulation properties.

EN 12667

Heating plate

Cooling plate

The temperature of this surface is measured, with sensor attached to the cooling plate, to see how wellthe material insulates heat in otherwords how poorly it conducts heat.

TEST METHODISO 11359-2 Plastics. Thermomechanical analysis. Part 2. Determination of coefficient of linear thermal expansion and glass transition temperature

TEST EQUIPMENT Vötsch VC 4060 climate test chamber

TEST PRINCIPLESTest was carried out according to ISO 11359-2. The change in a dimension of a test specimen was measured as a function of temperature. The linear thermal coefficients of expansion of composites were determined between -30°C and +80°C.

2.1. Linear thermal expansion according to ISO 11359-2The linear thermal expansion test was carried out adapting to ISO 11359-2. The change in a dimension of a test specimen was measured as a function of temperature. The linear thermal coefficients of expansion of composites were determined between temperatures -30°C and +80°C (RH 50 %) on a calibre. The samples were measured in direction of extrusion. Readings of specimen length were taken at +25°, -30°, -20°, -10°, 0°, +10°, +20°, +30°, +40°, +50°, 60°, +70° and +80° C. The length of the one temperature cycle was 24 hours.

TEST EQUIPMENTWater bath

TEST PRINCIPLESThe composite specimens were subjected to water immersion according to SFS-EN 317. Swelling in thickness was determined by measuring the increase in thickness of the test piece after 24 hours and 168 hours immersion in water.

The specimens were removed from the water, weighed, and the thickness was measured. The percent change from the original thickness represents the thickness swell, and the percent weight change from the original weight represents the water absorption.

10. RESISTANCE TO SURFACE WEAR Test done according to SFS-EN ISO 11998

METHODTest was carried out according to SFS-EN ISO 11998. The resistance to surface wear was determined by scrubbing the surface of the test specimen with a wild boar brush, a nylon brush, an abrasive sponge and an 80 grit abrasive paper. The loss in mass and changes in test piece surface was used to evaluate the resistance to surface wear.TEST MEASURESWear of the surface is expressed in mass loss in relation to area (g/dm2).ABOUT THE TESTThe test has been modified from a paint/lacquer test to give data about the wear the product can withstand in use.

Both wet and dry surfaces were evaluated. The specimens were soaked in water for 10 minutes before the wet friction test.

TEST MEASURESThe minimum value requirement is 0,43 which means the material is safe for pedestrians.
