In both work and home contexts, when packing one’s belongings into a container, two concerns prevail: the strength of the container and the preservation of the contents. Alstora containers ensure both conditions are met.
Introduction:
- EPDM gasket
- Double Material closing latches
- Nylon 6 (PA6)
- Thermoplastic Elastomer (SEBS)
- Conclusions
EPDM gasket
The gasket integrated in the lid is made of EPDM, a type of synthetic rubber that is elastic, and resistant to impacts and stretching. These characteristics grant the IP55 certification, there is the ability of the containers to retain and prevent the permeation of water and dust, thereby protecting the stocked contents. Additionally, EPDM offers high thermal resistance, typically withstanding temperatures ranging from -50°C to 150°C.
Double Material closing latches
Integral closure is assured by the presence of the latches placed on every side of the box. Made of double material, Nylon 6 (PA6) for the rigid part, and SEBS (Thermoplastic Elastomer) for the soft part, these latches offer extreme manageability and secure grip, even at low temperatures and in the presence of water or humidity.
Nylon 6 (PA6)
PA6 is a plastic material with excellent mechanical properties, even at low temperatures. It is also characterized by excellent wear resistance. Even when subjected to continuous stress or strain, it retains its performance. It finds applications in a wide range of sectors: mechanical, food, chemical, thermal and electrical.
Thermoplastic Elastomer (SEBS)
SEBS is an exceedingly versatile material. Its main properties include: elasticity and flexibility, as it can be stretched repeatedly without losing its original shape; cushioning: thanks to its elastomeric nature, can absorb shocks and vibrations. Last but not least, it is atoxic as it does not contain dangerous plasticisers or stabilisers.
These features make SEBS a popular choice for products such as seals, soft handles for tools, toys, sporting goods, and automotive components that require durability and comfort.
Conclusions
The combination of high-performance materials with EPDM seals makes the container resistant to mould, pests, odours and other external agents. Alstora prioritizes your safety and that of your belongings. Each product is totally Made in Italy and is guaranteed for 10 years.
