ATS ChemBond Odorless Resin

ATS ChemBond Odorless Resin combines superior chemical resistance and high structural strength with low flame and smoke characteristics. The ChemBond resin with glass reinforcement can be used to bond two adjoining pieces of ATS duct without presanding the duct surface. This system is especially desirable in sensitive cleanroom environments where dust and odors are prohibited.

The following are some of the test results ATS has obtained:

One of our first tests was conducted with Underwriters Laboratories. We coated a cement asbestos board with a 20 mil coating to determine the flame and smoke ratings of the resin. UL ran an ASTM E-48 Tunnel Test on the sample. The results were:

FLAME SPREAD =10
SMOKE DEVELOPED = 25

Outgassing results were obtained from Seimens Munich which tested the Chembond resin using procedures outlined in S.E.M.I.'s Standard E-4695 - Test Method for the Determination of Organic Contamination from Minienvironments. The ChemBond resin results were:

Positive Ions (7 days) = 0.14
Negative Ions (7 days) = 0.20

We also have FM approval to use ChemBond resin as a joining system for our duct systems used for fume exhaust.

For structural tests, we went to California State University as Long Beach. Dr. Joe Plecnik determined the tensile strength for a laminate of ChemBond resin and glass reinforcement. These values were considerably greater than those recommended in the National Bureau of Standards Product Standard 15-69.
