Insulation for heat die
Been going over matweb.com and McMaster, and I'm looking for opinions on these materials, for constructing the insulating box, around the heat die:
#1-Polypropylene
McMaster p/n 8742K18
1/2" thick
Off hand, it looks a little too soft, and the operating temperature may fall outside of what I'll have
#2-Garolite
McMaster p/n 8491K95 (CE grade)
Operating temps are fuzzy: "Highest Operating Temperature
Above +100° F and Above +212° F".
Only 1/8" thick.
Keep in mind that I am still considering applying a vacuum, to further isolate the heat die.
