| ENCASEMENTS: All units are manufactured from linear virgin polyethylene resin containing UV ray inhibitors and carbon black pigment to protect against ultra-violet deterioration. These resins offer a balance of toughness, rigidity, environmental stress-crack resistance and low temperature impact performance. Resin is also in compliance with the FDA title 21. This is a food grade material that will not contaminate the waterways and is recyclable. All units are rotationally molded for seamless, one-piece construction. A nominal wall thickness of .15 is standard on all encasements unless a specific wall thickness is requested. These units are resistant to damage by animals, ice, bumps by watercraft and contact deterioration from petroleum products. They are suitable for outdoor use with respect to exposure to ultra-violet light, water exposure, immersion and fire in accordance with the Underwriters Laboratory's class 746C and flame class UL-94HB. The encasements also meet the Hunt Falling Dart, puncture and thickness test. All units will exhibit the following ASTM test methods: | |||

| CONTENTS: All encasements are filled with polystyrene (EPS) beads. The EPS beads are steamed together to provide less water absorption and a solid core for structural strength. The EPS contents have a 0.9-1.2 lbs. per cubic foot density with water absorption not to exceed three pounds per cubic foot in accordance with the Hunt Water Absorption Test. It will not sink or contaminate the water when punctured. The EPS contents conforms to the ASTM C-578 and the Underwriter's Laboratories standards. Regarding fire resistance; it passes the UL723, UL1975 and the ASTM E84 tests. Below are other ASTM test results: |

12-Year Float Warranty |
|||
| All Ace Float Drums have a twelve year warranty and exceeds the current U.S. Army Corp of Engineers regulation. | |||
| ACE ROTO-MOLD (ACE) a division of Den Hartog Industries, Inc. warrants all its manufactured float drums to the original owner against cracking, peeling, sloughing and deterioration from ultra-violet rays, while retaining its resiliency against ice and bumps by watercraft under normal usage for a period of twelve years from the proven date of purchase. Any float drum thought to be defective must be returned to the manufacturer (prepaid) and judged defective by the manufacturer. All float drums under this warranty are to be FOB Hospers, Iowa. This warranty does not cover any float drum that has been subject to negligence, misuse alterations, accidents, storm abuse or | improper installation and support. ACE's obligation to the original owner involves the replacement or the repairing of the defective float drum(s) due to poor workmanship or material. This does not include any obligation for consequential or liquidated damages. Whether defective float drums should be replaced or repaired shall be determined at the sole discretion of ACE. Any float determined by ACE to be replaced is covered by its limited warranty, as described above, for the following time period from purchase date by original owner: 100% non-prorated for 8 years; 40% in 9th year; 30% in 10th year; 20% in 11th year; and 10% in 12th year of current. | ||
