Ecoste Grill is made with Virgin polymer, the percentage of which is 70%. The products are a sister product of PVC.
2. Second Layer
The second layer is the additive layer, the percentage of which is 15%. There are around 6-7 elements which make this, which includes,
a. Foaming Agent - It is the element that foams the entire material
b. Processing Aide - This helps the material to get processed while it is undergoing an extrusion process.
c. Whitening Agents, Brightening Agent and UV Pigment - This plays an important role as the white color, which comes on the top and bottom of the board
d. Lubricants - The internal and external lubricants too play an important role in terms of processing parameters.
These are the four major elements
II. Difference
The 15% layer which forms the topmost layer of the boards is the layer that differentiates both the products.
This 15% in WPC is a layer of “Wood Powder,” do remember that we don't cut trees to produce this powder, rather we procure this wood powder from Sawmill's and then we further refine them and add it to our product.
In the case of MPC what we add in this 15% layer is Mineral fibers like calcium carbonate and many more.
III. Process
Our grills are made via the extrusion process. First, all the chemicals are mixed and later the sheets which are extruded, are crafted into the requisite design using a CNC machine.
IV. Specifications
Well, with this we come to the Specifications of Ecoste Grills.
Generally, the Grill that we recommend is the 18mm Grills which is a standard grill, in 0.65 and 0.55 density.
V. Densities
These are the two standard densities of the product that are used in building elevation facades, shaft applications. However, in order to reduce the cost and at places where the wind pressure is less we use 17mm grill and in shafts where there are dead shafts we also use 12mm MPC grills.
VI. Thickness And Standard
The last point is of Thickness And Standard Grills. Well, because we extrude grills in every thickness, be it is 6m,12mm, 17mm or 18mm.
Hence, we can extrude grills in any thickness because we have our own indigenous manufacturing plant, provided you fulfill our minimum order requirement.
VII. Dimensions
Various dimensions can be made out of it, i.e we can make grills of any width and length depending on the total size of the shafts.
Here we have discussed about the basic difference between Fibre Cement Grills and MPC Grils. Which will give you an insight as to what kind of a product WPC and Fibre Cement Grills are and accordingly you will be able to make a good choice in the ...
