Applications
Suitable for commercial
applications requiring heat
resistance (electrical and
hydraulic systems near
aircraft or automotive
engines or in fuel tanks),
applications in chemically
exposed environments
(industrial process
equipment in the pulp and
paper, steel, and chemical
industries), and equipment
for handling caustic or
dangerous chemicals or
inks. Use for insulation and
strain relief on appliances
(electric ranges, microwave
ovens, gas grills, and
industrial paint-drying
equipment) and for
protection of delicate
electronic instruments in
down-hole applications.
