Homogeneous Tri-Mer Polypro Adaptable to Broad Range of Uses


August 3, 2002. Owosso, MI. Tri-Mer Corp has introduced a broad line of standard and custom polypropylene fabrications for use in corrosive and other hostile environments.

Tri-Mer fabrications are manufactured from 3/16 to 1-1/2" homogeneous polypropylene, a rugged, resilient material that is UV-stable and not subject to delamination or environmental stress cracking, per ASTM D-1693, also FM 4910 clean room standards.

The Tri-Mer fabrication material is chemically inert and free of plasticizers, which can leach out and cause embrittlement or cracking, so it is highly suitable for a wide range of process and manufacturing applications. It has a low coefficient of thermal expansion and contraction, and excellent dimensional stability over time. The material has excellent UV resistance for weatherability in exposed applications. Homogeneous polypropylene has a documented performance life of 20+ years.

Tri-Mer's polypro manufacturing protocol includes a programmable system for imparting greatest-possible strength at corners and seams (where applicable), and a proprietary system for distributing sidewall stresses with highest uniformity.

Among the equipment manufactured by Tri-Mer are plating and chemical tanks (up to 100' long), acid/caustic wash stations, parts washers, hoods and ducting, test chambers and consoles, etching systems and scrubbers. Design engineering and prototype development is available.

Tri-Mer specializes in close-tolerances and complex shapes. Control packages, programming services and full installation support are available. Tri-Mer Corp. Owosso, MI. (989) 723-7838 or www.tri-mer.com
