What about maintenance?
Our
tubing can easily be cleaned by lifting it to the surface
and wiping it down with a Scotch Brite pad, at the same
time flexing the tubing from top to bottom. Due to the
flexibility of the rubber compound very little growth
ocurrs on our product. O2b2 has a high resistance to
fungal growth including:
Aspergillus niger
Penicillium funciulosum
Chretomium globosum
Trichoderma sporulosum
Pullularia pullulans
Aspergillus flavus
Aspergillus versicolor
The thermoplastic elastomer
compound has a high ozone resistance, which qualifies it
to compete for uses in the water treatment industry. The
ozone resistance is derived from the chemical composition
of the rubber (fine particles of fully vulcanized EPDM
rubber in polypropylene matrix).
O2b2 is also resistant to
many acids and gases.
The combination of the
thermoplastic elastomer compound and the silica sand
ballast makes, the product very flexible, simple to
install and maintain.
