Safety Pad III FR

  2. Safety Pad III FR
Safety Pad III FR is molded from a high strength, fire retardant and chemical resistant urethane. Safety Pad III FR is now offered in a high or low profile version for applications not requiring the stainless steel studs or grooves. The high profile version is a high-traction work surface custom molded 1 1/4" thick to fit the rotary table, drill floor, and any other critical work or walk area.

The low profile version is custom molded 1" thick for areas such as walkways, stairways and other non-critical sections of the rig. Using the same urethane and maintaining the high standards as industry leading Safety Pad II FR, Safety Pad III FR offers a traction pattern that is molded into the surface of the safety mat. Because of the new design, we are able to offer this lower-cost alternative.

Introduction
This report presents the results of Dielectric tests conducted on 9 samples of polymer blocks. The test samples were submitted to our laboratory by Mr. Carl Boddie of Industrial Polymers Inc. on June 27, 1998. The scope of work was limited to conducting a Dielectric Proof test on the samples and providing a factual report of the results. Testing was completed on July 2, 1998.
Sample Identification
A total of 9 samples were submitted for testing. The samples were identified as shown.
Dielectric Test Method
The test was conducted using the methodology of ASTM:D149. Samples were tested using both Direct Current and Alternating Current. Electrodes (2 each) were machined from Brass round stock to a diameter of 1 inches. The test sample was placed between the electrodes. The probes of the Dielectric tester were attached to the electrodes.

The voltage was increased slowly to 25,000 VDC. These conditions were maintained for a period of 1 minute. After this period, the voltage was slowly reduced to 0 VDC. during this period, observations were made for evidence of breakdown.

This procedure was repeated except that a voltage of 10,000 VAC was used.

This procedure was repeated on an additional 8 samples.

Attn; Mr. Kendall Kinchen

We have completed evaluation of the urethane polymers CS-100FR and a leading competitor's mat sample for absorption and durability in the presence of common diesel fuel. The study consisted of a 12 week immersion carried out at 120F to artificially accelerate the testing.

At the start and at weekly intervals of the testing period sample weights were recorded and the differences compared to determine the affects of solubility in a hydrocarbon environment. The study revealed that the CS-100FR faired the best absorbing only 5.69% in weight and achieving maximum absorption while the leading competitor's sample absorbed 20.28% continuing on an upward trend in the same time period. The overall total percent absorption of diesel fuel could be used as direct indication of the breakdown of cured polymer and long term performance.

A copy of the study and actual test specimens has been included for your review.
