THERMOPAK Tray Pads are high temperature, high durability pads used to protect aluminum coils, slabs and plate from damage by direct contact with steel transport trays, V-racks, sling trays and rail cars during annealing, transport, cooling and storage of the aluminum. Movement of the aluminum on these steel surfaces, especially the hot aluminum, results in contact surface abrasions and denting commonly referred to as bruising, resulting in significantly increased scrap aluminum.Use of the tray pads eliminates most of these problems and reduces scrap generated by in-house handling methods of the aluminum.
