Plumbers Thermal Protection Pads & Mats

Thermapad Plumbers Pads have been manufactured in the UK by the GMS Company for the past 14 years, using high quality materials meeting the highest Health and Safety standards.

THERMAPAD is manufactured to protect from flame damage and scorching areas surrounding soldering operation. THERMAPAD will withstand the heat from a blowtorch under normal conditions. As the temperature required to solder a capillary joint is half the melting point of the outer fabric (600°C) only by subjecting the pad to temperatures above normal plumbing conditions would premature surface breakdown take place. Even after surface fabric damage occurs the infill will prevent any thermal transfer (the infil withstands temperatures of 1260°C).

The life of the pad is determined by the heat intensity and concentration on a given area, therefore, should the pad surface start to glow at the point at which the flame makes contact, we suggest repositioning the mat allowing unheated areas to be used.

Labmat

For the past three years our company has been supplying our 'Flexible Labmat' throughout Europe, but has yet we have not marketed this product in the UK. We are now looking for distributors who would be willing to stock and supply to schools, laboratories etc. This product meets European Quality Assurance specifications, certification of which can be supplied on request.

The GMS Company have for the past fifteen years manufactured the patented Thermapad Plumbers Pads and Mats. This range has been sold through most DIY outfits, who in many cases use their own brand names.

The Thermapad Labmat is manufactured from high temperature glass fabric, which is able to withstand up to 1000°C, contains no hazardous materials and meets current European health standards.

A secondary coating is applied to the surface making the mat resistant to most chemicles and acids, plus improving spillage absorbency of up to twice the product weight.

A Thermapad Labmat measures 250mm x 250mm and is supplied bagged with header. Other sizes are available if required. Headers can be printed with your company name and wording required, however, Labmat EQA specification would be advised.
