Need clear temp resistant composite
Need clear temp resistant composite
(OP)
I'm looking for a clear composite that I can use in a solar collector. It needs to withstand temp ranges of -50F (winter exterior) to +300F (summer interior) and be UV stable. All those I've looked at previously have huge expansion factors over this range and, therefore, represent a problem in gasketing to get a good weather seal. Structure is approx. 6'x8'.
Thanks.
Thanks.





RE: Need clear temp resistant composite
I would imagine the gasketing materials and design should be something from the same materials family or fluoro- elastomers to accomodate the temperature range you cite.
