The TF-3B MicroPower OMNIBUS® II Flasher / Lampchanger from Tideland Signal Corp, Houston, features a turret made of 30% glass-filled KetaSpire® KT-880 polyetheretherketone (PEEK) resin from Solvay Advanced Polymers.
Tideland Signal’s P.C. commented, “There are other high-heat materials on the market but very few also provide the flexible processing needed for molding of highly-detailed structures, KetaSpire PEEK delivered the unique combination that we required.”
The Solvay Advanced Polymer product was chosen for high-heat resistance and dimensional stability. The solid-state flasher and six-place lamp changer is a significant feature in the marine signal lanterns.
