UPM ProFi® Deck Technical Specification MATERIAL UPM ProFi® is an environmentally innovative composite material that combines the best qualities of plastic and engineered fibers which fall as surplus by-products in self-adhesive label manufacture and processing. The material is virtually lignin free and contains no harmful chemicals. Hollow composite profile made by extrusion technology. Standard mm PROFILE DIMENSIONS Rail Step Cover Strip Support Rail Custom Lengths between 2.0 m & 6.0 m by request. Actual length tolerances may vary from -2 mm upwards, subject to temperature. Width / thickness tolerance is +/- 1 mm. Test method Typical value Surface Hardness (Brinell), N/mm2 Wear resistance (Taber 1000 r), mm Slip resistance Property Density, g/cm3 Falling mass impact, J Point load capacity Termite resistance (European termites) Thermal Expansion Coefficient, 1/°C Heat Transfer Coefficient, W/mK Fire Class * Based on CEN/TS 15534 wood plastic composites (WPC). The values above are characteristic values from quality tests and therefore not for strength calculations in the serviceability st

THERMAL EXPANSION: As with all composite decks, UPM ProFi Deck 150 and its accessories made with UPM ProFi INDICATIVE CHANGES IN LENGTH material will expand and contract with changes in temperature. The following table illustrates this effect over different temperature changes. The temperature change listed relates to the temperature of the UPM ProFi material, not the air temperature. In strong sunshine, darker coloured boards will reach higher temperatures than lighter coloured boards. THERMAL EXPANSION Temp. change of board mm expansion / shrinkage 1m board Based on an expansion...
