Cdots issue is why does the steel surface wear when cotton fibre runs against it? We can agree that the steel surface is a high coefficient of friction which produces frictional resistance and will eventually wear. This is in direct proportion to the velocity or speed of the cotton material...
UHMW Thermplastic Film Has 15 times the wear surface of steel. Unless there is something very sharp in the cotton fibers you will not be able to wear it out very easily. Of course that will depend on the heat generated. The coefficient of friction is much higher on the steel vs. the very low...
Cdots,
You can but it needs to be in block form, similar to guide rails or cutting board type of sheet. There a few variations of the UHMW. I was talking about a skived film in the previous post. The knife edges will cut into the UHMW, film or solid form, and it all depends on the force that...
Use Silicone Adhesive on Dead Soft 3 or 4 mil. aluminum foil. Can also produce the foil with a MYLAR strip mask on top, or can laminating the Foil on Top of the mylar to build it up. Typically Mylar Green Powder Coat mask is 350F film, 500F for the silicone adhesive. Other products are plasma...
I can help you!. We carry a 25 mil. clear or white true Acrylic (double-coated) foam which is what VHB is made of. We can laminate both of your panels in-house on our 60" wide laminator, up to 2" thick of various materials, and send the combined product back to you. I believe the 25 mil. is 44"...
The simple answer is high coefficient of friction. Steel is not a wear surface. Rub on it long enough with any fiber (soft or hard) and you will eventually see wear. A thermo-plastic UHMW Polyethylene will outwear steel 15/1 and is a very low coefficient of friction. The film is skived in 3...
How are you using the Mylar over Neoprene? How thick is the Mylar? I assume that the 300LSE stays with the Mylar when you peel away from Neo surface. Also, is the surface of the Neo smooth or textured? Using under high temp or outdoor? 300LSE is a widely used adhesive in supported and...
