Genex’s lightweight composite tubes, rugged nylon fittings, and high strength urethane bonding process represent the leading edge of composite materials technology. The materials chosen by Genex engineers have proven track records in a variety of applications where strength and durability are vital. The aircraft, automotive, construction, and electrical industries, along with Arctic expeditions, are among the areas where these materials are currently in use.
Composite tubes – Reinforced fiber materials (called rovings) are combined with crosslinking polymers and other elements (including ultraviolet inhibitors) to form Genex braces and end frame components. Genex engineers have incorporated a special patented “wrapping” process in the manufacturing of these components that delivers superior strength and durability.
Nylon Fittings – Fiberglass reinforced nylon is combined with other elements to create the fittings used on Genex Scaffolds. Reinforced nylon makes Genex fittings particularly resistant to abrasions and the effects of weather.
Urethane Bonding – The urethane adhesive used on Genex Scaffolds creates a high-strength, moisture-resistant bond between fittings and braces. The heat applied injection molding process bonds components together. Unlike other adhesives (such as epoxy), urethane remains supple after curing – so temperature variations won’t affect the bonded components. This gives Genex Scaffolds great durability and long life in all weather conditions.
Genex Scaffolds are engineered to meet or exceed OSHA requirements and comply with ANSI standard A-10.8 in effect as of 09/01/2005. |
