Specialty Airbag Fabrics for the Automotive Industry

By |2024-02-22T07:07:49-08:00August 3rd, 2018|

Airbag fabrics are typically high-strength woven materials that can retain their physical integrity against rapid inflation by an inert gas to cushion impacts. Nylon textiles are among the most common fabrics used to weave airbag cushions for general manufacturing and automotive applications. However, conventional component arrangements have significant drawbacks that have forced manufacturers to explore [...]

Fabricated Thermal Seals for High-Temperature Applications

By |2023-08-17T02:16:31-07:00August 3rd, 2018|

High-performance thermal seals are characterized as flexible materials with exceptional mechanical resistance to the corrosive elements inherent in high-temperature applications. This requires fabricated materials with a good balance of malleability and mechanical toughness to provide the requisite formability for sealing mating surfaces and voids in thermal components. Direct resistance to smoke corrosion, flame impingement, and [...]

What is a Tadpole Gasket?

By |2024-02-21T05:08:42-08:00June 29th, 2018|

Tadpole gaskets are unique thermal sealing solutions comprised of a heat-resistant cover and a durable core material arranged in a distinctive bulb and tail structure. The external material, typically thermally-resistant,  is wrapped around the core material to form a cylindrical bulb. The edges of the tape or fabric are then fused together to form the [...]

How Do Welding Curtains Work?

By |2024-02-21T06:56:31-08:00June 22nd, 2018|

Welding curtains are a rounded solution to many of the issues presented by metal joinery procedures, offering protection to process bystanders from the sparks and vibrant light generated as a byproduct from the weld. Conventional welding methodologies involve fusing two or more metal components together through gas flame, electric arc, or other high-temperature joining methodologies. [...]

What are Die-Cut Gaskets?

By |2024-02-21T05:03:25-08:00June 12th, 2018|

Die-cutting is the sophisticated process of machining flexible materials for industrial applications. It involves feeding a web of material through a shearing chamber, where cutting components will either perforate shapes into the fabric or cut the material down to size. It is regularly applied in the thermal insulation sector to form sealants such as die-cut [...]

Thermal Insulation for Emissions Control

By |2024-02-23T06:00:12-08:00June 5th, 2018|

Industry and the environment are antonymic concepts. Energy-intensive industrial processes produce millions of cubic tons of harmful greenhouse gasses every year, notwithstanding their effluent production materials nor potentially damaging extraction protocols. Numerous environmental policies, improved industry regulations, and advanced materials for thermal insulation have been applied to help improve the sustainability of crucial industry sectors, [...]

Tray Pads for Secondary Aluminum Plants and Rolling Mills

By |2024-02-23T06:19:24-08:00May 28th, 2018|

Metalworking industries around the world are characterized by high thermal and abrasive processes. Molten metals are heated to refractory temperatures in mantles or crucibles, and transported to resistant molds to form coils, slabs, and plate products. These are then cooled and conveyed through further processing equipment to prepare products for final application. Temperatures throughout these [...]

Producing Cargo Covers with Heat Resistant Materials

By |2024-02-22T05:50:01-08:00May 8th, 2018|

Heat resistant cargo covers are widely implemented in the aerospace industry to ensure the safe and efficient transport of a range of goods. They are designed to maintain optimal product temperatures during transit, and to reduce the risk of catastrophic cargo fires by isolating potentially flammable goods.   This article will explore the production and [...]

Using Refractory Cements in High Temperature Applications

By |2024-02-23T06:24:42-08:00May 3rd, 2018|

Refractory cement is a material that retains its high strength properties at extremely high temperatures. It is often used in applications that require high strength, wear resistance, and thermal resistance. The majority of refractory cements are a combination of clinker and an aggregate material. Clinker is the by-product of sintering in the production of cement, [...]

What are Fiberglass Ropes Used For?

By |2024-02-21T05:05:15-08:00April 30th, 2018|

Fiberglass ropes combine ultimate flexibility with exceptional thermal resistances. They are manufactured by braiding or knitting fiberglass yarn into tightly-woven textiles in diameters of 1/8” to 2”. Mid-Mountain Materials produces fiberglass ropes from E-glass, which exhibits exceptional dielectric strength, high chemical resistances, and continued tensile strength at extreme temperatures – with a continuous limit of [...]
