Mechanical Properties


Ultraviolet Light Stability
Effect of UV on properties of RAPTOR® staples.

RAPTOR® composite staples maintain their strength even after 6,000 hours accelerated aging, by exposure to UV and moisture.
Pulpability
Tested in Kraft process
Does not dissolve or melt
Composite material 100% recoverable
Composite density 1.6 grams/cubic centimeter
Solvent Resistance
RAPTOR® staples retain their strength even after long-term immersion in most liquids such as:
• Organic Solvents
alcohol
acetone
trichoroethylene
• Aqueous Solutions
acid
base
saline
• Automotive Fluids
gasoline
oil
grease
Thermal Properties
Drivability performance unaffected by low temperatures.
Tested down to -30°F.
Continuous Use Temperature: 350°F
Short Duration Temperature Limit: 500°F
Ash Temperature: 900°F
Different Grades
STANDARD MATERIAL: Provides best drivability; will damage high speed steel moulder knives.
LF MATERIAL: Safe for most moulder blades; drivability somewhat compromised.
NF MATERIAL: Safe for all delicate blades; drivability somewhat compromised.
