What Fabric-Reinforced Diaphragms Offer
Fabric-Reinforced Diaphragms combine flexibility, high tensile strength, and fire resistance, making them ideal for demanding applications in the military, aerospace, and industrial sectors. These diaphragms are designed to withstand extreme conditions, providing durability and enhanced performance for sealing and insulation needs.
Features & Benefits
- Ability to Withstand Direct Flame: Resists direct flame at 2000°F (1094°C) for up to 15 minutes.
- Excellent Thermal Insulation: Helps prevent structural damage from heat.
- Product Flexibility: Easy installation with minimal changes to mating hardware.
- Compatibility: Works with Parker compounds and AMS/military-approved elastomers.
- Increased Durability: Higher abrasion resistance and reduced friction for longer-lasting performance.
- Improved Tensile Strength: Superior to homogeneous elastomer products.
- UV Resistance: Minimal strength degradation over time with extended UV exposure.
- Customizable: Diaphragms can be die-cut to specific shapes.
These features make Fabric-Reinforced Diaphragms a reliable solution for high-performance sealing, offering durability, flexibility, and fire resistance.
