Plymetal
|
Plymetal is typically used for floor panels in the form of 5/8"
to 3/4" thickness faced with stainless steel. There are a number
of applications where plymetal is also used with melamine faced
aluminum such as windscreens or compartment doors.
*The historical specification - MIL-P-8053 - was withdrawn with
no replacement. The test criteria however still remains active
as an industry standard.
