E.2 UPVC system Aluminium Doors/Windows and Fixed Glazing
E.2.1 uPVC Profiles
The profiles for windows and doors are made of high impact hard PVC. They
are manufactured through the extrusion of a mixture of thermoplastic
polymer, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) as the main component and various
additives.

The material bases for raw PVC are ethylene and salt. Ethylene is
manufactured from oil feedstocks or LNG and chlorine manufactured from
Natrium Chloride (salt). Ethylene and chlorine react to form vinyl chloride, a
chemical gas which through polymerization produces PVC. The resulting
product is a white powder. To increase the impact strength PVC for window
profiles is mixed with an acrylic ester to form a copolymer. The copolymer is
mixed with additives to improve:

• Mechanical strength, rigidity and hardness

• Impact strength with notch sensitivity
• Thermal stability for applicable in the temperature range from – 30°C to
70°C
• Abrasion resistance,
• Flame –resistant and self-extinguishing when away from the flame.
• Chemical and weather resistance
• Weldability
• Dimensional stability

Physical properties of uPVC

• Bulk Density (Specific Weight) 1.41 – 1.46 g/cm²
• Tensile strength 44 N/mm²
• Elongation elasticity coefficient ≥2.220 N/mm²
• Impact strength (RT) ≥20 KJ/m²
• Impact resistance (- 40oC) No rupture
• Linear expansion coefficient 0.810-4/°K
• Vicat softening temperature 78-82°C
(Depending on the applied formula)
• Weather resistance Colour change should not go beyond
level 4 of the grey scale in accordance
with ISO 105- A 03

Performance of windows
The windows comply to DIN 18055 or BS 6375:

Part 1. The actual performance achieved depends on window style, design and
size as well as profile combination used.

Air Permeability
The air permeability shall be tested in accordance with BS 5368: Part 1, EN 42.
The value shall be as small as possible to avoid energy loss for e.g. air-
conditioning, maximum 1m3/m/hr at an air pressure of 10 Pa. typical value for
VEKA tilt and turn windows, casements is 0.1m3/m/hr.

E/5
Multipurpose Hall at Manah
 Watertightness
The water tightness is tested in accordance with BS 5368: Part 2 EN 86. There
shall be no leakage at a certain wind pressure, amount of sprayed water and
time. Typical classification for tilt and turn is group B and C, 300 and 600 Pa.

Wind Resistance
The wind resistance is tested in accordance with BS 5368: Part 3, EN 77. The
maximum allowed deflection is 1/300 or 8mm between two edges of an
insulating glass unit. Gust of wind is a repeated test (50 times) at +- 1,000 Pa
for classification “C”. There shall be no permanent residual deformation,
damage, or functional defects.

Thermal Insulation
The thermal insulation value is an important factor to save energy for heating
and air-conditioning. The VEKA multi-chambered profiles have a U-value of
1.4-1.8 W/m2K.

Using single, double or specially treated glass units the U-values range
between 6.0-1.0 W/m2K where the smaller value is the better one.

Sound Insulation
The double sealed window design (inside and outside weather stripping) along
with the reinforced multi-chambered profiles results in excellent sound
insulation. Depending on the chosen glass unit the reduction is Rw 30 dB-42
dB for e.g. noisy city centers.

Fire Classification
uPVC is classified as self-extinguishing. The VEKA material has been tested to
BS 476: Part 7. It has a class one surface spread of flame. VEKA windows have
been used for many years in high rise buildings in many countries in the world
e.g. Jinan/China, Abu Dhabi/ UAE, besides Europe.
