New Molded End Cap Product

ToughPleat is a NEW line of two-component polyurethanes for molded end caps developed by Epic Resins. These VOC-free polyurethanes are designed to have excellent tear resistance and high strength for demanding molded filter end cap applications. Being strong, flexible materials, ToughPleat polyurethanes are well-suited for filters that will be subjected to constant pulsing, pressure drops and/or may take some effort to remove or install. The high tear resistance prevents the filter from being damaged during the installation or removal process.
