Thermo gasket is a highly resilient textile gasket designed for high tempereture applications. The outer surface is composed of multitwined fiber glass yearn that found a rounded tube.To improve the resiliency of the gasket a special supporting tube made of stainless steel wire is inserted inside the tube. Stainless steel clips are used to fix the gasket to the applications firmly.
In the stove industry, Thermetex® offers multiple reliable solutions which are able to withstand high operating temperatures. Raw materials used are commonly based on fiberglass filaments, treated with custom designed processes and specifically developed coating materials. The advantage of doing so, it is to achieve higher working temperatures. Additionally, where easy installation is required, pressure activated adhesive backing have been applied to the gasket to facilitate and accelerate the mounting process. During assembly of parts, like glass panels to the stove door, fixing first the gasket to one assembly element can be very helpful for a prompt mounting operation.
The glass fiber tape is made of high-temperature resistance and high-strength glass fiber, which is processed by special process . It has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, heat insulation, insulation, fire retardant, corrosion resistance, aging resistance, weather fastness, high strength and smooth appearance .
NOMEX® and KEVLAR® are aromatic polyamides or aramids developed by DuPont. The term aramid derives from the word aromatic and amide (aromatic + amide), which is a polymer with many amide bonds repeating in the polymer chain. Therefore, it is categorized within the polyamide group.
It has at least 85% of its amide bonds attached with aromatic rings. There are two main types of aramids, categorized as meta-aramid, and para-aramid and each of these two groups have different properties relating to their structures.
BASFLEX is a product formed by intertwining multiple fibers made of basalt filaments. The yarns are drawn from the melt of basalt stones and possesses high elastic modulus, outstanding chemicals and thermal/heat resistance. Additionally, the basalt fibers have very low humidity absorption compared to glass fibers.
The Basflex braid has excellent heat and flame resistance. It is non flammable, have no dripping behavior, and have no or very low smoke development.
Compared to braids made of fiberglass, the Basflex have higher tensile modulus and higher impact resistance. When immersed in alkaline medium, the basalt fibers have 10-fold better weight loss performances compared with fiberglass.
Glass fibers are man made filaments originated from components found in nature. The major element contained in fiberglass yarns is the Silicon Dioxiode (SiO2), which confers the high modulus characteristic and high temperature resistance. Indeed, fiberglass are not only having high strength compared to other polymers but also an outstanding thermal insulator material. It can withstand continuous temperature exposure more than 300℃. If it undergoes to post-process treatments, the temperature resistance can be further increased up to 600 ℃.
Spando-NTT® represents an extensive range of abrasion resistant sleeves designed to prolong lifetime of wire/cables harnesses used in the automotive, industrial, rail and aerospace markets. Each single product has its own specific purpose; whether lightweight, protective against crush, chemically resistant, mechanically robust, flexible, easily fitted or thermally insulating.
SPANDOFLEX SC is a self closing protective sleeve made with a combination of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) monofilaments and multifilaments. The self-closing concept allows the sleeve to be installed easily onto pre-terminated wires or tubes, thus allowing installation at the end of the whole assembly process. The sleeve offers also very easy maintenance or inspection by just opening the wraparound.
Glasflex is formed by intertwining multiple glass fiber with a specific braiding angle through circular braiders. Such formed seamless textile and can be expanded to fit on a wide range of hoses. Depending on the braiding angle (generally between 30 ° and 60 °) , the material density and the numbers of yarns different constructions can be obtained.
Spando-flex® represents an extensive series of expandable and abrasion protection sleeves designed to prolong lifetime of wire/cables harnesses in the automotive, industrial, rail and aerospace market. Each single product has its own specific purpose, whether lightweight, protective against crush, chemically resistant, mechanically robust, flexible, easily fitted or thermally insulating.
