Representing over 60% of the market, PVC joinery offer many advantages (insulation, cost, aging, etc.). Nevertheless, it is necessary to have a consistent formulation over time at the risk of seeing these properties vary from one batch to another.

Manufacturers may request a French certification NF PVC window profiles. This guarantees the suitability for use and, above all, the manufacturing quality of the extruded profiles. This certification is based on the French standard NF 126 and the European standard NF EN 12608.

In addition to the sampling controls carried out by the certifying body (CSTB), the certification also passes through internal controls carried out by the manufacturer.

One of the characteristics tested during the qualification of PVC is the Vicat softening temperature according to the method B / 50 of the ISO 306 standard.

The MI-TECH HDT/Vicat of Matériau Ingénierie perfectly meets the needs of manufacturers of PVC joinery. In its 3P version, our device can be delivered with a single measuring station. In addition, only the Vicat tip and the 50N mass are needed which reduces the investment. Thus, to carry out regular controls at lower cost, our HDT / Vicat is positioned as a perfectly suited instrument for the qualification and certification of PVC joinery.
