Expansion Wax fibre core

Expansion Wax fibre coreThis wax expands by about 15 percent when melted, then contracts as it cools down and solidifies. The wax can be tailored to melt within a narrow temperature range, and it can withstand thousands of expansion cycles without suffering critical property degradation. Used for: Expansion wax is used as the driving element in thermal wax actuators, which exert a mechanical force as the temperature rises. The principal application is in thermostats used in

Retractable fabric roofs

cheese packages

Applications for structural foam moulding:

The foam can withstand temperatures from -268°C to 482°C

Guitar players use the tape on guitar picks so they can stick them onto their guitars

chemical resistance

It can also be moulded onto other plastics and metals to make soft grips or flexible hinges (see our silicone overmoulding sample)

It is possible to produce detailed logos

The system is used when a bolted joint is subject to vibrations and dynamic loads

sports equipment

An inkjet print head deposits a liquid binder on selected sections of a thin layer of metal powder

without impairing the look of the moulded part
