Product Advice: Walraven phenolic blocks

Walraven phenolic blocks

Phenolic blocks are made from cellulose fibres and resin.  It is layered up to make the engineered composite.  They have exceptional strength, durability, and resistance to various environmental factors.  What sets Walraven Phenolic Blocks apart is its unique manufacturing process and exceptional quality control standards.

Advantages of phenolic blocks

One of the standout features of Walraven Phenolic Blocks is their incredible strength-to-weight ratio.  Phenolic blocks have now replaced wooden blocks.  This is because they had poorer thermal properties, increased risk of condensation forming on wood blocks, and difficulty in maintaining effective vapour barriers.  This makes them an ideal choice for supporting heavy loads in construction and industrial applications. This immense strength not only enhances safety but also reduces the need for frequent replacements, resulting in cost savings over time.  They are easy to work with, thanks to their lightweight nature and consistent dimensions.  Also, they are customizable to meet specific project requirements.

Resistance to Environmental Factors

Phenolic blocks have a foil covering applied at the factory.  This acts as a highly effective barrier against the harshest environmental conditions.   They are impervious to moisture, chemicals, and extreme temperatures, ensuring their longevity in diverse settings. This resistance makes them a top choice for projects where traditional materials might degrade or weaken over time.

In the below image, you can see how easy it is to install these blocks.  they have a sealing tag which makes the installation process quick and easy to complete.

Are there any industry standards or certifications that the phenolic blocks must meet?

Yes, CE marking is an important standard that all Phenolics must meet.  The CE mark is not just a symbol; it’s a guarantee that we have adhered rigorously to all applicable procedures outlined in the Declaration of Performance (DoP) during the manufacturing process. This mark serves as a seal of approval, signifying that our phenolic pipe supports comply with the highest standards and regulations across the European Economic Area.

It’s a clear indication that our product complies with the Declaration of Performance, confirming compliance with relevant regulations. This mark signifies that our phenolic pipe supports have undergone thorough testing using consistent assessment methods, providing you with reliable technical information about their performance.

The CE marking ensures that technical information about the product’s performance is presented in a common language, making it easier for designers and specifiers to compare products effortlessly. It is a mark of consistency, assuring you that our phenolic pipe supports meet stringent quality standards.

Conclusion

Their incredible strength, resistance to environmental factors, and versatility make them a preferred choice for professionals seeking reliable support solutions. By opting for Walraven Phenolic Blocks, you’re not just investing in a material; you’re investing in the longevity and safety of your project.
