OSE Use Case

One OSE use case is the top seal of the High Temperature Print Chamber

Max Temperatures of Fabrics

  • Linen is highest temperature-resistant material? [1]
  • What about wool? 600C for lightning temperature - [2]. Cellulose is 250C by comparison.
  • Natural wool felt - looks like max temp is 200F - [3]
  • PBI Polybenzimidazole
    • Supposeldy (ie double check this)
    • Other features: continuous temperature: 540 °C (1,004 °F), does not melt but degrades around the temperature: 760 °C (1,400 °F) under pyrolysis, retains fiber integrity and suppleness up to 540 °C (1,004 °F)
  • Mettalized fibers?

High Temperature Gaskets

Sponge / Foam Gasket

  • Closed cell silicone - 230 C - can be soft - [4]

Cellulose Fabrics

  • Jute onset of degradation - 240C - Linen - 160C - [5]

  • Wool insulation specs - [6]
