Pyrolysis Test

About this property

The Pyrolysis test involves subjecting a sample of the belt to a controlled combustion process at 810 °C. The gases generated during combustion are collected and analyzed to verify the absence of Nitrogen (N), Sulfur (S), Fluorine (F), and Chlorine (Cl). This check is essential to ensure that the material does not release unwanted compounds during its use in sensitive applications.

Our Verna (polyolefin) and Poler (thermoplastic polyester) belts, especially recommended for the tobacco sector, successfully pass this test, performed by the Hygiene-Institut in Germany.

In contrast, Polyurethane (PU) and PVC belts, whose suitability was questioned by the tobacco industry, do not pass the Pyrolysis test.
