Description: Armour-XL is a cross-linked polyethylene sheet of closed cell structure. Its unique high density profile offers the multiple benefits of exceptional resilience, compression strength and impact resistance, besides excellent elasticity, elongation at break and tear resistance. Armour-XL is also hygienic, non-toxic, non-polluting and CFC-free. It is resistant to moisture, fungi and chemicals; and is vibration absorbent and abrasion proof. Its closed cell structure simultaneously ensures extremely low thermal conductivity, virtually negligible water absorption and transmission, and a high level of buoyancy. Though a cross-linked material, Armour-XL can be easily thermoformed: by either vacuum or compression techniques. In addition, it can be conveniently sliced, slit, perforated, die-cut, laminated and embossed. It has diverse advantages. Armour-XL has many applications: for protective sportsgear like pads and gloves, life jackets and trekking rolls; in footwear industry for components like insoles, socks and collars; for gaskets and helmet lining in the automobile industry; for footmats, bathroom mats, double-sided adhesive tapes and other such consumer items; and for demanding military applications such as packing of ammunition, missiles and radar equipment, helmet lining, and materials for protection against extreme temperatures. Armour-XL has also made a mark in the medical equipment industry, with uses like: shock-proof packing of ECG machines, orthopaedic tools and vaccines; manufacture of hygienic, non-toxic artificial limb components requiring prolonged touch of the human skin; and production of highly sensitive, vibration absorbing ECG sensor knobs. Armour-XL is offered by The Supreme Industries Ltd.
