TEFLON® SHEET DATA view specs
| Teflon sheet is a transparent,
thermoplastic film that can be heat sealed, thermoformed, vacuum formed, heat
bonded, welded, metallized, laminated, and used as an excellent hot-melt
adhesive. This wide variety of fabrication possibilities combines with the
following important properties to offer a unique balance of capabilities not
available in any other plastic film. |
| Teflon film is a chemically
inert and solvent resistant to virtually all chemicals, except molten alkali
metals, gaseous fluorine, and certain complex halogenated compounds, such as
chlorine trifluoride at elevated temperatures and pressures |

MARANITE P
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS view specs
| Maranite P Combines structural
strength with high thermal insulating values. This insulation offers
excellent resistance to compression as well as high tensile, shear, and
transverse strengths. The material will not decay or rust. It is
incombustible, highly damage resistant, non-corroding, and extremely water
resistant. Maranite P panels also provide fire safety, uniform temperature
control, minimal maintenance: and it's machinable. |
