TempResist® Profiles
TempResist is a heavy-duty compound that CF Plastic Profiles developed in collaboration with one of its raw material suppliers. TempResist is produced in response to the scorching summers in various regions of Northern Europe over the last few years.
During these summers, extreme temperatures were measured that exceeded the Vicat and HDT temperatures of standard UPVC compounds, causing deformation and functionality problems in some applications.
TempResist also complies with the stricter fire safety requirements which are incorporated in European building codes.
TempResist is processed exclusively by CF Plastic profiles and is used to produce fire-safe and eco-friendly plastic profiles.
Applications
TempResist profiles can be widely used in:
- Automotive industry

Material properties
TempResist is rigid, impact-resistant, well suited for outdoor applications, and resistant to high temperatures. It can be well processed in the extrusion process. The chemical resistance is almost equal to that of hard PVC. The material can be easily bonded. Welding can be done by mirror welding or ultrasonic welding.
Colors
TempResist is available in various RAL colors.
Fire Safety
TempResist is self-extinguishing and complies with the standard EN 13501-1:2002, Rating B s1 d0.
Lacquering
TempResist can be lacquered with standard paint systems.
Welding
TempResist can be welded using heat or ultrasonic welding.
Chemical Resistance
TempResist is highly resistant to corrosive chemicals.
