Thermowashers
It is used to reliably and imperviously fasten cellular polycarbonate sheets. It functions not only as fastening and sealing element, but also compensates for the thermal expansion of polycarbonate sheets.
It is elastic, prevents deformations and damages during installation and operation.
Outdoors, polycarbonate (like any other material) is subjected to temperature deformations - expansion during hot seasons and contraction in cold seasons of the year. The thermowasher forms a necessary gap allowing a slight "floating" of the material. This helps avoid deformation of the structure and increase its lifespan.
It fits tightly to the polycarbonate sheet, thereby preventing moisture from getting into the interior space and protecting the sheets from premature degradation.
It reliably fixes the sheets to the frame and increases the holddown area of the polycarbonate material to the frame.
It provides double protection of the polycarbonate material from dust and moisture and increases its service life.
A sealed cap protects self-tapping screws against corrosion.
It has a neat appearance and renders consistency and perfection to the whole structure.
By using a special composition developed by PTD IMplast LLC, it is not subjected to decomposition when exposed to UV radiation and remains elastic under large temperature fluctuations.
It speeds up the installation process due to a simple design and absence of subcomponents.
Multi-purpose - suitable for fastening sheets of different thicknesses (most effective for sheets 2.5-8 mm thick which are used in 80% of honeycomb polycarbonate products).
Provides heat protection. It is a very important indicator for greenhouses the main designation of which is to protect plants from frost during the cold season of the year. Thermowashers ensure an impervious contact at the point of securing self-tapping screws to prevrnt ebtry of cold air into the structure.
