| WahlcoMetroflex offers non-metallic expansion joints  WahlcoMetroflex offers technologically-advanced non-metallic expansion joints for utilities, municipalities, smelters, steel mills, refineries, petrochemical plants, chemical plants, cement plants, pulp and paper mills, waste heat recovery and cogeneration facilities. The WahlcoMetroflex non-metallic expansion joints handle extreme heat conditions, as well as abrasive and caustic gases, while meeting customers' requirements for economy of installation/operation and energy efficiency. High reliability is achieved with innovative designs and features, such as the mounting of belts with steel channels, instead of flatbars, for stronger and more consistent clamping force.WahlcoMetroflex employs two classes of advanced material for the belts in its non-metallic expansion joints: durable elastomers and rugged flouroplastics. WahlcoMetroflex's Supratef series of flouroplastic materials are a combination of fluorocarbon resins for chemical resistance and specially-designed woven fiberglass reinforcement for high strength. Supratef fabric is engineered to withstand the ductwork's full temperature range, even without the added protection of WahlcoMetroflex's joint cavity insulation. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
