The tungsten carbide cloth is infiltrated by a brazing alloy, which fuses the carbide particles together and wets the substrate, creating a metallurgical bond.

attractive substrate makes the tank look nice, can trap some dirt or hide it, and provides anchor for roots of plants. Some cichlids use the gravel (spawning pits, etc.) and gravel can help to buffer the water and, in some cases, provide a substrate for nitrate cycle bacteria. The size of gravel you choose will depend on the type of cichlids you are keeping, whether you want to have a planted tank, and whether you want to breed your fish.

Fluorilon-99 is a monolithic thermoplastic. It is not a coating and thus cannot be applied like one. However, thin sheets of Fluorilon-99 can be prepared and adhered to substrates with certain adhesives. While this procedures is not recommended, in certain cases it can be successfully employed.

Coral fragments are wedged into crevices and holes within the structure or attached using plastic cable ties or steel binding wire.

Macrohardness is in the 64-70 HRC range for WC 200, 60-66 HRC for WC 210 and 56-62 HRC range for WC219. However, our claddings are a composite of tungsten carbide particles dispersed in a nickel-based alloy matrix. The extremely hard carbide particles, with a Vickers Diamond Pyramid Hardness of about 2000 DPH50g (1865 DPH50g is equivalent to 80 Rockwell C Hardness (HRC)), are surrounded by a two-phase matrix (300-800 DPH50g, equivalent to 30-64 HRC).

Yes. Typical ground surfaces are 16-32 R(a). Beyond that, the cladding can be polished to a surface finish of less than 12 R(a) over most of the clad surface. A dedicated customer service representative (CSR) for your specific market is available to answer all of your production and shipping questions M-F 8:00am - 5:00pm EST. Our knowledgeable CSRs are equipped to answer all of your concerns from your purchase order to component delivery.

Shiplap is the traditional and ever popular cladding profile for use in sheds and other garden buildings. Shiplap features smooth planed and fully interlocking tongued and grooved boarding. The design ensures that rainwater drains quickly and the timber dries quickly. This helps to ensure a longer life for your shed. Our sheds feature properly tongued and grooved boarding which is stronger than the half lap shiplap or rebated shiplap used by many others.

Loglap is an increasingly popular cladding profile for use in sheds and other garden buildings. Loglap features smooth planed and fully interlocking tongued and grooved boarding with a rounded external log effect profile. The design ensures that rainwater drains quickly and the timber dries quickly. This helps to ensure a longer life for your shed. Our sheds feature properly tongued and grooved boarding which is stronger than the half lap loglap or rebated loglap used by many others.

Limestone cladding is cut into 35mm thick tiles from natural limestone, using diamond tipped saw blades. It is available as an all round diamond cut tile for butt jointing or diamond cut face with quarry cut edges for use when mortar joints are to be used.

Check for external contamination of the lamp by items like: spray, powder, reflector material or other particles. Make sure that coating and ink material is fully mixed before application. This allows the photo initiator to be evenly distributed in the coating media. Verify the number of operating hours that the lamp has run. Different applications result in different lamp lifetimes.

We mainly use paper towels and shelf liner. But newspaper and very fine grade (dust free) sand is fine. Try to avoid wood chips, gravels, lizard litter, and calcium sands.

No. Cut vinyl lettering and graphics can be applied directly to any clean, smooth surface such as a window, vehicle or even an existing sign. We can install your vinyl or supply cut vinyl decals for you to install. We also can make paint stencils - either from reusable plastic or single use paint masks when sharper images are required.
