DuPont™ Vespel® Glass Handling Technology

For glass container plant engineers, DuPont™ Vespel® Glass Handling Technology represents an excellent choice for hot glass handling components.
 
DuPont™ Vespel® increases plant reliability and lowers operation costs by delivering extended life and less glass checking compared with conventional glass handling technology. 
 
The unique properties of DuPont™ Vespel® glass handling components exhibit lower thermal conductivity and oil absorption, and higher impact and wear resistance than conventional carbon graphite parts. The proprietary material science of DuPont coupled with expert technical support and service represent a comprehensive solution for hot glass handling applications. 

Key Applications:

  • Take-out Inserts
  • Sweep-out Fingers

 

 

 
Technical Comparison Information 
 
 

[1] Thermal conductivity tested at 50°C (122°F).

[2] Wear measured as percent weight loss, 315°C (600°F), 25 hours, 100 Hz.

[3] Notched Izod Impact Resistance test {ASTM D 256} at 23°C (73°F) after heat aging in air, at 315°C (600°F) for 100 hours. 

[4] Oil absorption measured as a percent of weight change after a 24 hour soak.
