Heavy Industrial
Norplex-Micarta uses various resin and substrate combinations that allow thermal and mechanical performance to be tailored to specific heavy industry applications. Cloth reinforcement provides high strength without the tool wear produced by fiberglass or metal. And unlike most thermoplastics, thermoset resins withstand high temperatures created by cutting tools without breaking down, burning, or gumming up tool-cutting surfaces.
Compared to metal options, thermosets cost less and provide wear resistance and insulating features not offered by metal materials. They can also increase machining speeds, thereby boosting the productivity for fabricators of these product lines.
Norplex-Micarta materials come in variations ranging from thin gauges to sheets 12 inches thick. Some types can be punched using cold punching dies, while others can be machined with normal metalworking tools. |
