The 170 mesh powdered elastomer gives improved resistance to heat and hydrocarbon exposure when used in industrial coatings and membranes. The material is produced in the company's ISO certified facility in Valley Park MS. �We have done some technical evaluations of coatings using the FRS-170 material, and found it to contribute to faster drying, a more flexible coating, and excellent fuel and hydrocarbon resistance,� said Bob Rathbun, president of Pinnacle. �Fluoroelastomers were developed for the space program, and are known for chemical, fuel and heat resistance, while retaining excellent heat aged flexibility.� The company's process is able to produce a fine powder fluoroelastomer material, readily dispersible in liquids for use in coatings, caulks or sealants. www.pinnacleelastomers.com   Products Archives privacy || home || contact us || rogers publishing limited
