Safety and Heat Resistance
Safety is one of the most important aspects of the heat gun,
as the exposed metal can be hot enough to burn someone if
touched, due to the hot air that escapes through its channel.
Heat guns are currently set up with a glass reinforced plastic
like PP GF 15 (glass reinforced 15%) in order to withstand
high temperatures without undertaking any degradation.
They are also designed with a gap of at least 3mm between
the metal nozzle and the plastic covering, in order to prevent
the plastic from melting.
In terms of the redesign, this material would be useful in
creating a body suited to its usage, without compromising
on safety.
