CLARIFLEX^TM

CLARIFLEX^TM is a flexible, transparent fluoroplastic composed of tetrafluoroethylene, hexafluoropropylene, and vinylidene fluoride.

APPLICATIONS:

• Chemical Resistant Window Material
• Semiconductor Equipment Components
• Low Permeation Films and Sheet
• Flame Resistant Substitute for Polycarbonate

Featured Advantages of CLARIFLEX^TM

• Unmatched flexibility and exceptional flex life relative to other fluoroplastics.
• Use with broad range of chemicals is exemplified by its excellent resistance to inorganic and organic acids, halo gen compounds, hydrocarbons, and alcohols. Additionally, Clariflex has excellent permeation resistance to hydrocarbon fuels and other aggressive chemicals.
• Low flammability. High limiting oxygen index: Does not support combustion.
• Bondable to itself and other substrates. Easier to bond to many elastomers and plastics than other fluoroplastics; easily welds to itself.
• Exceptional optical clarity and transmittance particularly in the U.V. and visible regions of the solar spectrum.
• FDA compliant.

ZELUX® M (Machinable grade polycarbonate)

• Stress Relieved for Extensive Machining
• Dimensionally Stable

Stock Shapes:

Rod: 1/8"- 15" -- (Stress Relieved)
Heavy Gauge Sheet: 3/8" - 6" -- (Stress Relieved)
Sheet to 49" x 97" Untrimmed up to 2" thick

Standard Colors: Natural (Transparent) and Black

ZELUX M stress relieved rod and heavy gauge sheet products can be machined into a wide variety of parts that offer dimensional stability at temperatures from -40°F to 280°F.

Impact Resistance
All non-reinforced ZELUX M products are virtually unbreakable, making them extremely safe when exposed to heavy impact. ZELUX products tend to cold form rather than shatter, when subjected to repeated heavy blows.

Stress Relieving
All ZELUX M rod and heavy gauge sheet are stress relieved for close tolerance machining and dimensionally stable parts.

ZELUX® W
(Window grade polycarbonate)
Available in thicknesses from 1/2" to 2". Custom orders on sheets up 60" x 120".

• Virtually Unbreakable The impact resistance of ZELUX is outstanding. It is ductile and resists shattering and spalling.
• Homogenous Polymer The properties of ZELUX W are consistent throughout each sheet. In addition, this consistency is maintained from sheet to sheet.
• UV Stable ZELUX W is resistant to yellowing.
• Lightweight ZELUX W sheet is less than 1/2 the weight of glass when comparing sheets of the same size and thickness.
• Cleanable A variety of commercial cleaning materials such as Windex, Fantastik, Mr. Clean or isopropyl alcohol may be used to clean ZELUX W products.
• Low Outgassing

ZELUX® W (Window grade) sheet made from polycarbonate resin has many advantages over glass that make it an ideal replacement in almost any industrial situation.
