Silicone Composite

Dura Temp's DT-1 material is a special silicone composite developed specifically for hot glass handling applications. This exclusive formula combines low thermal conductivity, lubricity, low abrasion, and high impact strength.

In addition to those characteristics, DT-1 is also resistant to fluid absorption, which is critical in applications where swabbing and lubrication are present in such area's as sweepout/pusher and transfer. 

​The DT-1 & DT-2 material come in molded parts or plates in different thickness The molded parts can be made with metal inserts. The Dura Temp metal reinforced fingers (MM/CM) come standard on all of Dura Temp's quick-change pockets.

Benefits of Dura Temp's fingers and pads are:

  +   Crash resistant and easy to change
  +   Fingers are completely molded reducing exposure to metal
  +   Custom designs for specialty containers
  +   Metal reinforced for extra strength
  +   Made from DT-2 silicone composite material
  +   Straight and curved fingers available

Customers can machine this material to fit their specific requirements, but Dura Temp can also provide cut parts machined from these materials. 

High speed steel or carbide tooling is recommended for machining this material. Flat stock sizes include cross sections up to 12" (304.8mm) x 12" (304.8mm) in thicknesses of 1/8" (3.2mm), 1/4″ (6.4mm), 3/8" (9.5mm) and 1/2″ (12.7mm).
