A.

Kevlar fiber

In Fortemp, you can find all of kevlar ropes, tapes, belts and sleeves used in glass tempering furnaces,
and also the other spare parts of glass tempering furnaces

Typical sizes of ropes: 5.5 x 5.5mm, 12 x 3mm, 12 x 4mm, 12 x 5mm, 12 x 5.5mm, 10 x 3mm, 13 x 2mm
and more

Kevlar Roller Ropes & Tapes are exclusively for wrapping the steel rollers in the cooling section of glass
tempering furnaces, glass bending oven or automotive glass production line. It is also used for covering
the rollers in glass loading/unloading tables or glass lamination line. Fortemp is specialized in producing
and supplying all sizes of roller ropes, tapes & sleeves for different brands and types of glass tempering
furnaces, such as Glaston, Tamglass, Northglass, Landglass, Southtec, Glasstech, Uniglass, Glass Robots,
Mappi, Keraglass, etc.

Fortemp rollers ropes & tapes are made of para-aramid fiber. Aramid material has a strong property of
highly temperature resistance (up to 300 ℃) and abrasion resistance. Aramid was firstly invented by
DuPont with its registered trademark – Kevlar, released to the public in 20thCentury. Therefore, the glass
fabricators got used to call it as Kevlar rope, although it should be more accurately with the name of
aramid rope.

B. Carbon fiber

HM-20

HM-20 is a high strength, unidirectional carbon fiber fabric. Material is field laminated using HM-180C3P
epoxy to form a carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) fabric used to strengthen structural concrete
elements.

C. Tempered glas/Regular glass

Tempered or toughened glass is a type of safety glass processed by controlled thermal or chemical
treatments to increase its strength compared with normal glass. Tempering puts the outer surfaces into
compression and the interior into tension. Such stresses cause the glass, when broken, to crumble into
small granular chunks instead of splintering into jagged shards as plate glass (a.k.a. annealed glass) does.
The granular chunks are less likely to cause injury.

As a result of its safety and strength, tempered glass is used in a variety of demanding applications,
including passenger vehicle windows, shower doors, architectural glass doors and tables, refrigerator
trays, mobile phone screen protectors, as a component of bulletproof glass, for diving masks, and
various types of plates and cookware.

Regular glass, also known as annealed glass, is commonly used for things such as mirrors and windows.
During manufacturing, it is cooled very slowly, as to not create tension or compression. Cooling the glass
slowly also allows it to be easily cut, reshaped, drilled, and polished. However, regular glass is very fragile
and breaks into large, sharp pieces, which can be dangerous
D. Thermoplastic polyrethane

Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) is any of a class of polyurethane plastics with many properties,
including elasticity, transparency, and resistance to oil, grease and abrasion. Technically, they are
thermoplastic elastomers consisting of linear segmented block copolymers composed of hard and soft
segments.Polyurethane (PUR and PU) is a polymer composed of organic units joined by carbamate
(urethane) links. While most polyurethanes are thermosetting polymers that do not melt when heated,
thermoplastic polyurethanes are also available.

Polyurethane polymers are traditionally and most commonly formed by reacting a di- or triisocyanate
with a polyol. Since polyurethanes contain two types of monomers, which polymerise one after the
other, they are classed as alternating copolymers. Both the isocyanates and polyols used to make
polyurethanes contain, on average, two or more functional groups per molecule.

E. Nylon
Nylon is a synthetic thermoplastic linear polyamide (a large molecule whose components are bound by a
particular type of bond) that was first produced in 1935 by American chemist Wallace Carothers who
was then working at the DuPont research facility in Delaware. Wallace produced what is technically
known as Nylon 66 (still one of the most common variants). Demand for Nylon in particular and synthetic
materials in general grew during World War II when natural items like silk, rubber, and latex were in
significantly shorter supply.

Nylon is used for a variety of applications to include clothing, reinforcement in rubber material like car
tires, for use as a rope or thread, and for a number of injection molded parts for vehicles and mechanical
equipment. It is exceptionally strong, relatively resistant to abrasions and moisture absorptivity, long
lasting, resistant to chemicals, elastic and easy to wash. Nylon is often used as a substitute for low
strength metals. It is the plastic of choice for components in the engine compartment of vehicles
because of its strength, temperature resilience, and chemical compatibility.
