stacked to the desired thickness. - - - - - - - - - Application Graphics - - - Specifications

Advantages to Hamortex.

1. Heat dissipating system in the fibre prevents burning.
   
2. Conforms easily to irregular and non-parallel surfaces.
   
3. Easily installed by simply fitting the roll to the cup by unwinding the excess!
   
4. Does not work harden; stack can be rebuilt by adding more layers.
   
5. Two grades of material to choose from:
   HAMORTEX-S: For light to medium driving.
   HAMORTEX-X: For hard continuous driving.
   

Specifications

1. Coefficient of Impact 0.45-0.50 (plywood gradually hardens from 0.25 to0.6).
   
2. Modulus of Elasticity
   Es at 2000 lb/in.sq. = 90,000
   Es at 3000 lb/in.sq. = 116,000
   
3. Modulus of Resilence (ability to lower the impact peak by extending the time travel.)
   U at 2000 lb/in.sq. = 1.9 ft. lbs/cu. in.
   U at 3000 lb/in.sq. = 3.2 ft. lbs/cu. in.
