Armacell product will be part of the particle accelerator project

Brazil. Brazil's most advanced set of electron accelerators, called Sirius, from the National Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS), is being built in Campinas, in the interior of São Paulo, and will be equipped with an Armacell product. 

AluCLAD is a coating structured in flame retardant PVC, with pure aluminum layer and special weather protection film, which will be used in the pipes of the ice water lines. Its versatility, flexibility and excellent properties of resistance to the permeability of water vapor and the most adverse weather conditions guarantee the specification for the Sirius project.

One of the reasons for choosing AluCLAD is to accompany the extreme degree of precision and quality involved in all the construction and equipment involved in that project.

Sirius will be used to study the atomic structure of the most varied types of materials, organic and inorganic. The radiation used to pass through the samples of these materials is synchrotron light. It is a broad-spectrum radiation, ranging from infrared to x-radius, which allows extremely precise research in the field of nanotechnology, for example. On the nanometer scale, one meter is divided by one billion. As a comparison, this is equivalent to saying that the diameter of a hair is 100 thousand times greater than a nanometer.

The LNLS is one of the four laboratories that are part of the National Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM). The characteristics of the AluCLAD were preponderant in the choice to equip the Sirius, due to the resilience of the material, in addition to the ease of installation. According to engineer Lineu T. de F. Holzmann, Armacell's product and application engineering manager, approximately 11,000 square meters of AluCLAD cladding will be installed throughout the Sirius' air conditioning system.
