Low-Temp Polycover Aluminum

Low-Temp Polycover Aluminum

This excellent product was formerly known as Low Temperature Oracover. We are changing the name to Low Temperature Polycover. For years we assumed that the ready-built and ready-covered airplanes that we were getting from Germany, Czech Republic and other European countries were covered with regular Polycover. But when we compared the covering on these airplanes - particularly the lighter weight airplanes - to the Polycover that we stocked we discovered that the coverings were different. The planes were covered with a lighter-weight plastic film than the Polycover that we stocked. Light weight is important! The European manufacturers know this and have been using the lighter film. We now stock this NEW Low-Temperature POLYCOVER. We no longer carry the older and heavier Polycover. Our old solid color Polycover weighed from 1.9 oz. to 3.2 oz. per square yard. Our NEW Low-Temperature Polycover solid colors weigh from 1.8 oz. to 2.4 oz. per square yard. Our NEW Low-Temperature Transparent Polycover weighs about 1.4 oz. per square yard. Low-temperature Polycover comes in 26" wide, 78" long rolls. It's lighter. It shrinks much more and wrinkles can be more easily eliminated. It is applied at lower sealing iron temperatures. Because of its lower temperature application, it can be applied to wood-sheeted foam core structures without damaging the bond of the wood to the foam. How the NEW Low-temperature Polycover is similar to the old Polycover: Both are made of polyester instead of polypropylene plastic. Both have great strength and less rubbery characteristics than other plastic covering films. Both are to be applied onto sheeted surfaces with strokes from the center outward to get adhesion without trapping air bubbles. Some airplane manufacturers may still use the old Polycover, but for 90% of our ready-built airplanes, the covering is NEW Low-temperature Polycover, and when you need a roll of covering to repair these planes, you'll find that the NEW Low-temperature Polycover is the correct match.
