Dura Temp's contact materials for the stacker area are the DT-65 and the stainless steel braid. The DT-65 is a CFC-material which has undergone an extra anti-oxidation threatment giving the material extra protection against the continous heat and also extra ware resistance.

The stainless steel braids are offered in different sizes going from 4x4 to 12x12mm, rectangular sizes as 6x4mm are also available.
This material offers higher temperature capabilites (650°C) as well as long wear-life. Dura Temp's braids have a higher density and quality then most braids available on the market. Also our welding technique is second to none, giving it a high-strength weld to the metal support.

Protatherm® produces various materials for the stacker material, such as the graphite materials that are available in different quality grades for this application. Extra threatments can be offered depending on the need of the customer.

All parts are made to drawing and specification of the customer, design support and choice of the correct material is offered as a standard service.
