Dura Temp sweepout pockets can supplied in a wide variety of materials or mix of materials, depending on the customer requirements. The most common are the pockets made of DT-1 and DT-2, non-conductive silicone composite materials, reinforced with metal for strength. The properties of DT-1 and DT-2 materials provide superior benefits for glassmaking.
