Environmental Resistance –
Ronfell Group products have an excellent resistance to ozone, oxidation, ultraviolet light, corona discharge,
cosmic radiation, ionising radiation and weathering in general. Other grades of silicone rubber available from
Ronfell Group are: *General Purpose Grades * Cellular Silicone Products * High Temperature Grades
* High Tear Grades * Flame Retardant Grades * Low Combustion Hazard Grades * Custom Compounds
Strong: Protect against Dust Contamination and Extremes of Temperature : -10°C to +40°C with no Heat Build-up of Asset.
Lightweight & Tough: Resilient Cloth Material
Easy to Apply: Just slip easily over Asset at any time
Fully Compliant: Compliant to Section 12 requirements
Easy to Store: Folds up flat
Reduced Disruption to Passenger Flow: Fewer Broken Gates needing to be left open thereby reducing losses from non-paying passengers. Keeps operational efficiency of the Station.
Reduced Penalties for Damaged Assets: Fewer Damaged Assets Leased from Prestige means less compensation to pay.
