Unfortunately, Drs Horrow and colleagues are mistaken. Their regression analysis addresses only the average value for the common duct diameter as a function of age, while the other authors are discussing something elseâthe upper limit of normal value.
POLYFOAM Polyurethane(PUR)/Polyisocyanurate(PIR) is one of the most effective insulation materials commonly available today. It is also extremely versatile and can be used just about anywhere.It helps to keep our buildings cool and our food chilled, it is usually hidden, but you can find it everywhere from sports stadium to hospitals, cold stores to houses. Fire performance-POLYFOAM PUR/PIR is usually used at lower thicknesses than other insulants, so that their heat or fuel contribution to a fire is low compared to other thicker insulating materials. 2  Enhanced compressive and tensile strength at cryogenic temperatures make it resistant cracking.
Polyethylene (PE) is the most commonly used plastic polymer in the world with annual consumption rates exceeding 50 billion pounds per year. Over 70 percent of Porex products use porous polyethylene. With a linear molecular structure of repeating âCH2-CH2-units, PE is a semi-crystalline polymer that elongates before breaking, enhancing its toughness. In general, porous PE is considered a strong, lightweight thermoplastic with strong chemical resistance. Products made from standard polyethylene grades typically have pore size diameters ranging from 7 to 150 micrometers, but these nominal values can be increased to 300 micrometers with special blends.
