LANTEX®  TUBES - data sheets

LANTEX® GLASS & COMPOSITE TUBES

LANTEX® has been the leading name in Composite tubes for over 40 years. The tubes are made to the most exacting tolerances, and LANTEX quality is assured by strict compliance to ISO 9002. Glass fibre reinforcements orientated in prescribed directions are combined with selected synthetic resin systems to produce parallel or tapered tubes with pre-determined characteristics, including:

• Mechanical strength
• Density
• Resistance to chemicals & adverse environments
• Rigidity and stiffness
• Thermal Stability
• Electrical properties
• Dimensional stability
• Water absorption

Woven glass fabrics with the reinforcement equally distributed in the axial and circumferential directions in combination with resin systems such as epoxy, polyester, silicone, melamine and phenolic are used to produce a standard range of tubes. LANTEX COMPOSITE TUBES conform to National and International Standards. Where high strength, rigidity, toughness and low density are essentials, Langtec complement the above range using advanced composite materials including carbon, aramid and other materials either individually or in combination. Mechanical design can be inbuilt using the specific properties of fibres and resin systems. Our Technical Department can advise on the optimum use of these materials to meet specific requirements, and have test facilities available for technical assistance and customer assurance.

LANTEX® PAPER & COTTON
FABRIC TUBES

For more than 40 years LANGTEC LIMITED has specialised in the manufacture of a wide range of LANTEX Phenolic Bonded Kraft Paper and Cotton Fabric Tubes which are eminently suitable for both electrical and mechanical applications. As market leaders in this area our investment in research and development over the years has ensured continual improvements in quality to meet the rapidly increasing demands of industrial and technological innovation. The following features, which in combination are not available in any competitive product, guarantee a high degree of user satisfaction in the electrical, construction/earth moving, textile, printing and defence industries:

• High electrical integrity
• Excellent mechanical strength
• Choice of surface finishes
• Can be supplied as 'raw material' cylinders or machine finished to your design
• Easily machinable by your own labour
• Can be supplied with steel, g.r.p., aluminium, rubber and other materials incorporated to your requirements
• Close dimensional tolerances on wall thicknesses
• Close concentricity where specified
• Low water absorption
• Colour coded where specified
• Rot resistant and non corrosive
• Lightweight

Twelve very good reasons for using Lantex Phenolic Bonded Kraft Paper or Cotton Fabric Tubes.

And there are other considerations, too. For example, we have a fully equipped machine shop which will undertake accurate drilling, boring, turning, rebating, notching, etc. to your drawings. Also when required tubes can be tested in our materials laboratory to ensure their conformity to national, international, or customer specifications and certificates of conformity supplied. LANGTEC holds ISO 9002 approval and will comply fully with all quality control requirements.
